Boxed Cake Mix Better Than From Scratch ???

> > ? Can you not halve the recipe?

Dividing the mix doesn't make sense to me. I will make the entire
recipe and freeze the extra layer for use within the next month. A
yellow cake layer is invaluable for a quick dessert. So easy to split
the layer, add a filling and top with a ganache.

One of the best ones though I ever had was 1 I actually made from scratch
for a birthday.
Both the cake & frosting were made following some Hershey cocoa recipes.
Does that make it a cocoa cake, chocolate, or what? Recipe said chocolate.
It was rich, dense, moist. I'm not sure about the cost but taste.... yum.
Every year now I give him the choice of the chocolate one or cheesecake.

My wife makes that one too. Very good with a nice chocolate taste. She
makes a butter cream icing for it.

Since there are two of us, it is a bit much to eat while fresh so I take
some to work where it is well received.
