I see tons of recipes for choc cakes, but can you guys help me by telling me which ones are 1. good and 2. not real dark. Most of the box mixes I see (except German Chocolate) are so dark and my customer wants it light brown instead of dark (like devil's food). I bought a Ger.Choc. mix 'just in case' since my family likes it so it won't be wasted, but I'm hoping ya'll can help! Thanks.

I dont bake from mixes, but I would do this with a scratch cake and don't see why it wont work for a mix. If you use a vanilla or buttercake base, and then add a few tablespoons of cocoa, you should achieve a light choc cake. Also add more liquid to compensate for the extra dry ingredients. Say if you add 4 tablespoons of cocoa, then you can also add 1/3 of a cup of yoghurt or sour cream
Hope this helps

PS: Add and mix your cocoa one spoonful at a time to see how dark your mix is turning, some cocoas are a lot darker than others.
