Ok, weird question. I don't use box mix, and I'm wondering about any other recipes on the side of the box.

My mom worked with a woman who always brought everyone a chocolate loaf cake for their birthday. It was gooey, soft and she added big chunks of chopped chocolate to it. 

I asked many times for the recipe (and told my mom to tell her to leave it in her will to me :) ), but she would never give it to me.

My grandmother always liked the Sock it to Me Cake on the back of a yellow cake mix she bought. So I was wondering if there is anything on the chocolate mix box.

With the texture of the cake, we figure it was a box mix. But it was freaking good :).

I was craving it today, and the scratch loaf I made was good and chocolatey, but still nothing like hers.

Any ideas?? :) TIA

@rychevamp I've not even noticed recipes on the cake mix boxes.   Some baker's just like their little secrets. Maybe it was a modified fudge brownie mix.

idk — who can fulfill a dream like that? who can define/bake yearnings? — I mean I get you — I completely understand your dilemma and craving but i’m clueless —

although the baily’s chocolate poke cake is an extraordinary and lovely chocolate epitome cake — pure decadence — and I don’t even do the topping anymore — but it was when I watched the video and saw how the cake baked off on the top that I knew it was a tremendous choco cake — even without poking it — so it might worth the calories to you —

googleable and I used the one by ermhearts —  i’m on my phone and i’m not good at retrieving links — it’s not the recipe you’re looking for but if you try it you can easily develop a new craving you can satisfy with regularity

Maybe they don't put them on anymore. I was going to look when I went to the store the next time. I always remember the one I mentioned before that my grandmother made. She only looked pound cake style, and didn't want icing. But, it's been so long since I looked at a box mix, I didn't know they stopped with the recipes. 

I'll have to do some experimenting, maybe I can get a couple of the dark chocolate mixes and see what I can come up with. 

Thanks!

@MBalaska, thanks. That sounds like it might have the texture I'm thinking. I'll give it a shot.  Maybe add some chocolate chunks.

you mean because it's not White & it doesn't have Almond extract.  It's just a doctored box mix then.
