Devil's Food cake mix.
My friend made this cake and it was soooo yummy. Stayed fresh (covered sitting on my counter) for the 6 days it lasted. Can anyone tell me the difference between Devil's Food & regular choc. cake mix. I have a couple reg. cake mixes I'd like to use unless you think I should go buy the Devil's Food.

It was my understanding the Devil's Food is just a richer more moist chocolate.
I just looked at the recipe and realized that was one my mother used to make back in the late 60's. Except she didn't put in the vanilla or the chocolate chips. She used it to make a 3 layer cake and she frosted it with a pudding/Dream Whip frosting. I made a few when we were first married and I had an office to take what was left. (I could eat the whole thing, it truly is the devil calling me to another piece.)

You can substitute the regular chocolate cake mix. You result may just not be as dark or quilt as rich as the original, but I'm betting there will be little taste difference, especially once it's frosted. You won't know until you try.

I've used this recipe for years. My favorite is lemon. I use a lemon cake mix, substitute lemon juice for about 1/2 of the water and use lemon pudding mix. I also use lemon juice and powdered sugar for the glaze.
