Originally for Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate cake mix (1974).<br \/>\nMost box cake recipes call for \u00bd or \u2153 cup oil, so the amount of oil is slightly less or around the same. But the amount of water is greatly reduced in this recipe. Most box cake recipes instruct you to use 1 and \u00bc cups of water, and this recipe calls only for \u00bd cup. Whole milk is a recommended substitute for water because it has a thickening effect, but water will still work. The pudding mix and extra egg also produce firmer results.<br \/>\nBlend all ingredients together in the bowl, using either a stirring utensil or a mixer. Blend until the mixture is smooth and has no lumps. It will be thicker than most box cake mixes at this point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From ehow and also from Gayle\u2019s Step-mother Mary Leighton Your better option is probably to make it from scratch!
