Does anyone have a recipe to doctor up a chocolate cake mix? I found a really good one on CC for a White Cake mix with white chocolate pudding and sour cream in the mix and was wondering does anyone have one adding pudding and sour cream to a dark chocolate or devils food cake mix?

I have to make a two tiered cake for next Wednesday for my husband office holiday party. I am doing one tier chocolate cake and one tier white cake to give more choices.

Thank a bunch in advance to all.

I used the same White Cake mix recipe that you are talking about for a Chocolate cake. Just used Choc pudding instead of French Vanilla. The cake came out fine.

I haven't tried the recipes with the sour cream or mayo but I use chocolate cake mix and add in chocolate fudge pudding mix. I use 1 whole egg, 3 egg whites, 1/2 c oil, 1 1/4 milk/water mixture, 1 tsp vanilla. I also add chocolate syrup to the milk/water mixture and about 1/2 c. of chocolate chips after it's done mixing.

Thank you both for your ideas. Price, do you just use the egg whites, or the whole eggs? I know with Chocolate cakes you use whole eggs and the white cakes, egg whites, but with the doctoring of the chocolate mix I am not sure which ones to use?

I use a box of chocolate pudding, and also add some chocolate syrup (like the kind you use for ice cream topping), the entire egg, sour cream, and melted butter in place of oil. Yummy!

Thanks mOuse. I might give that a try.
