  5. I have to agree with the other 3 just go buy one from a box it's quick and easy, Unless you like baking then go for the home made, There are lot's of websites, I like kraft.com not sure if they have a chocolate cake recipe or not.
  6. You could always buy the cake mix at your local grocery store and just add the few ingredients listed on the box.

    you could make one from scratch:
