IMHO the best chocolate cake is Duncan Hines Devil's food "doctored" using Jello's Devil's food flavor instant pudding mix. YUM!

I like either the "ever so moist chocolate cake" in the Cake doctor book, or the chocolate version of the WASC. Let me know if you want either of these recipes.

I have personally used this recipie many times with great success.

http://www.cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-2284-1-Chocolate-Layer-Cake---grooms-cake.html

Everyone I mean everyone has just loved it. The only thing I did diffrently was I drizzled each torted layer with a bit of kahlua before adding the frosting, and I have always used a raspberry mousse for the middle layer.

I agree with the DH devil's food, just dowel it and double your boards and wrap them and you don't have to worry about the weight. HTH
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....................now those scratch ones sound yummy.

Try this one too, tastes great and is a lil firmer, got it off this site.....

Super Enhanced Cake Formula

Serves/Yields: 1 1/2 mixes
Prep. Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 65 minutes
Category: Cake Mix Cakes, Chocolate Cakes, Cupcakes, Pound Cakes, White Cakes, Yellow Cakes
Difficulty: Easy


Makes a rich, moist, absolutely delicious cake that has a 'crumb' similar to a pound cake, ideal for decorating and stacking/tiering. You will get so many compliments, and disbelief that you use any cake mix at all!

1 Cake Mix Box (Duncan Heines®, Betty Crocker®, Pillsbury® etc.)
1 cup All purpose flour
1 cup white granulated sugar
1 generous dash of salt

3 large eggs
1/3 cup water
1/4 Heavy Cream
1 cup Sour Cream (8 oz.)
1 cup melted butter
1 Tablespoon of Vanilla If making a white cake, use clear vanilla so cake will not discolor

** If making a chocolate cake:
3 Mounded tablespoons of cocoa powder





For this recipe you are only going to use the actual cake mix powder, do NOT also add the ingredients from directions on the cake mix box. Just ignore any other ingredients or directions listed on the cake mix packaging.


Preheat Oven to 330°
1. Mix flour, sugar, cake mix, **cocoa powder, and salt together with fork, set aside.

2. Into Mixer bowl put eggs, water, sour cream, butter, vanilla, and cream.

3. Add dry ingredients and mix well on (about 2 minutes on low speed).

4. Bake at 330° for 65 minutes for 9 in. cake pan.
