Hello, I have a cake mix box in my pantry and I’m looking for simple recipes based on that. I also want to make my own chocolate frosting. Amy recipes and suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

    I have heard to use milk or cream instead of water but I’ve never tried this myself.

    I just make normal cakes though usually. Also explore chocolate peanut butter ganache. I’ve always wanted to do a two layer cake with that in between the layers.

      Adding a can of full sugar soda works too. I’ve tried cherry vanilla coke in chocolate cake and ginger cake and both were delicious.

      I think zero soda works too, I’ve seen in on diet forums but never tried it.

      Also ganache is super easy- heat cream (vegan stuff works too!) till it’s steaming hot and add chopped chocolate and stir. To boost the flavour, add a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of instant coffee in with the chocolate.
