"Not everyone is a baker, and that's okay. Plenty of great cooks hate making desserts, but not every dessert has to be French patisserie either. These easy chocolate recipes start with boxed mixes, which take a lot of the hard work and pitfalls out of baking. A few clever additions help bump up the flavor of these mixes and produce baked goods that are closer to homemade.

When it comes to chocolate mixes, whether cake or brownie, a chief complaint is that they're never chocolatey enough, which these recipes smartly address through extra helpings of chocolate that result in bakery-worthy sweets."  Comment from Southern Living

Although I love the process of baking from scratch, there are times when semi-homemade is appreciated.  Using a boxed mix doesn't always mean an inferior cake, but it depends on how you use additions to enhance the flavor.  This is an excellent article that not only takes you to an array of delicious cake recipes, but has tips on using box mixes.  Everything you always wanted to know about baking a cake with a boxed mix!
