Semi-homemade Chocolate Cake

Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Cake Mix - Devil's Food, 18.25 oz

Here's a quick tip for getting rid of the "cake mix" taste in a chocolate cake mix cake:  substitute buttermilk for the amount of water called for on the back of the mix.

I used a devil's food mix, and this little trick completely took away the artificial taste sometimes found in a cake mix.  The finished product was rich with a perfect texture.  It also rose up to be a little thicker than it would have with just water.

I picked up this tip somewhere along the way...maybe Hoosier Homemade or The Cake Mix Doctor or Sandra Lee.  Try it...you'll like it!
