  1. try the pudding cakes.....
  2. i find if you flour the pan ontop of crisco then this works well...watch it closely and it should be awesome...i like duncan hines!
  3. try the one where it says has i cup of pudding in it or you have to add a stick of butter
  4. i personally subistute water for milk,
  5. Use any cake mix you like. Add one cup of cottage cheese to the batter when you add your wet ingredients. Cook as directed. You will find that you won't be able to SEE the cottage cheese, let alone taste it, but your cake will be really moist.
  6. Ok - here it is: The Chocolate Love Cake

    Betty Crocker chocolate cake mix
    1/2 bag chocolate chips
    1 package instant chocolate pudding
    1/2 container sour cream
    dark chocolate frosting

    Mix all together and follow directions on the box. This is seriously the best choclate cake ever - stays moist and delicious for up to a week! We actually froze some and defrosted it 6 months later - still like the day it was made.
  7. a cup of coffee in the mix replace same amount of water with coffee... or have you ever tried a jello cake they are soooooooo moist and you can use any flavor... bake a yellow cake and when done poke holes in cake with fork and while warm pour jello still in liquid form on cake and it runs into all the holes ...when cool frost with frosting and EAT............ so good..........
  8. Any box cake will provide a moist cake if you don't over bake it. Pillsbury is good but my fave is Betty crocker. You only have to grease the bottom of the pan. Don't skimp on the oil the recipe calls for because cocoa is a drying agent. Also as soon as the cake comes out of the oven leave it in the pan and wrap it with saran wrap, all the condensation will reabsorb and you will have an insanely moist cake. Try to bake the day before you decorate it and it can be stored in the fridge as soon as it cools and don't remove the saran wrap til right before you decorate it.
  9. Instead of using vegetable oil like the cake mix box calls for, use apple sauce.
  10. I think if you wrap the cake in saran wrap while it is hot the wrap will melt and stick to the pan and you are going to have a nice mess. Try cooling the cake first. Also if you Ice it as soon as it cools it should stay nice and moist.
    I use the Pillsbury Pudding Cakes and they are really moist.
  11. Any recipe with zucchini. Lots on the Net...It is the season, zucchini is very cheap in the stores, and definitely make for a very moist chocolate cake !
