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.)

I think it would be OK. The taste made be a little different, but with all that chocolate, it has to be good.

Thank you so much. There sure is a lot of choc. in there.
Any similar ideas for butterscotch chips. Another of my buy one get one free purchases.LOL. Why do I buy these things, seemed to good to pass up.

Use your butterscotch chips in magic cookie bars. Use the full 12 oz bag and no chocolate chips. Delicious bar cookie.

What about a different cake mix for the butterscotch chip, such as yellow, carrot or spice cake mix. Use a plain vanilla glaze on it or add cinnamon.

looks like a perfect dessert for tonight after we watch the Patriots vs. Colts in the playoffs. Thanks for posting.

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.

To enrich the chocolate flavor of a plain chocolate cake mix, substitute brewed coffee for the water and add a couple shakes of cinnamon. Great flavor.......

I've made this for years, regular chocolate cake mix is fine, just not as rich. I've substituted Kahula for some of the water, used peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chips. The cake is so rich that I usually just sprinkle a little powdered sugar on it when I'm ready to serve it. I'm addicted to chocolate so I've never tried any other flavor of cake mix with different pudding flavors. I'm thinking it would come out just as moist.

I've made this cake for years and I just used any kind of chocolate cake mix with it. The only thing I never used was the one tablespoon of vanilla, sounds a bit much to me. I usually sprinkled powdered sugar on it as I thought there was enough chocolate in it. (Shame on me).

You could also replace one of the eggs with 1/3 applesauce. That makes it moister (or is it more moist) as well.

With a regular chocolate cake mix, you could add a little cocoa powder to it to make it more chocolatey. When I bake a cake from a mix, I substitute buttermilk for the water. It is very moist and I always get so many compliments on the cake.

Duncan Hines has (had ?) a similar recipe on the side of their lemon cake - I've used it on many - changing the cake mix and pudding flavor accordingly. Comes out great every time. They had a recipe for the glaze on the lemon one that was just lemon juice and confectioners sugar - so much better than what they put on the boxes now. Haven't made the chocolate version in quite some time but I think I just melted chips with a little butter for that glaze.

I put butter scotch chips and a few tablespoons of pudding mix in chocolate chip cookies, they are out of this world. And they stay softer too.

I've been experimenting with cake mix cookies. One box mix, 1/2 cup oil, 2 eggs. Drop on ungreased cookie sheet, bake at 350 for 13-15 min. With spice cake I add raisins & nuts. With lemon mix I add pecans. With white mix, I add butterscotch bits and/or choc chips. From start to finish it takes about 30 minutes to stir up a batch. Makes approx. 2-1/2 doz. cookies.

Thanks for sharing...My mom use to bake a cake like that..Yum...Use a reg. choc cake mix...
