I have a few cake mixes in the pantry - but it's just the two of us. Will try this!

4. We've trying the mug cakes,

the ones where you mix any flavor cake mix with an angel food cake mix. Hits the sweet tooth ok, but we wind up eating it too often.
I'm hoping an 8 x 8 snack cake will work a little better calorie-wise.

7. I really needed this! Thank you.

We've been wanting a chocolate cake, and I have a box ready to, but I don't want to make a big cake just for two. There is no room in the freezer. Of course we'd try to eat the whole damn thing... It's chocolate., you know, and cake, too, so who could resist?

These instructions will solve the problem, and gives us two chocolate cakes. I want to make the first one today, a two layer half cake with chocolate butter creme frosting. Then just a one layer square cake with vanilla butter creme topped with toasted coconut and mini chocolate drops
