Best Chocolate Flavor - Boxed Cake Mix?
Decorating By mistymamas Updated 15 Jul 2009 , 2:54am by LambrinieCakes
There are so many different boxed chocolate boxed cake mixes, I dont know what you buy and I dont want to buy each one just to test it. Got a cake this weekend. What are your favorites? Just going from memory, Ii seen swiss, devils food, german, fudge...
I usually use German, but only because thats all ive tried!
My favorite is Betty Crocker's Triple Chocolate Fudge.
I use Duncan Hines Devils Food cakemix that I doctor.
You'll have as many answers as you could ever possibly imagine...
I'm a Pillsbury kind of girl. Devil's Food. If you don't want to go to all the trouble of doctoring it as others have mentioned, simply replace the water the box calls for with cold, strong coffee which enhances the chocolate even more. When greasing and flouring your pans, replace the flour with cocoa which, too, brings the chocolate to the forefront. You can't go wrong with those simple enhancements.
Another vote for Pillsbury Devil's Food. I won't use anything but Pillsbury. I've strayed twice, but came back to Pillsbury both times because it is so much better, IMHO. I'll never stray again! Like Win, I also sub coffee for the water in chocolate cakes. You can't taste the coffee, but it enhances the chocolate. Good Luck!
I like the dark fudge Duncan Hines, lots of customers like the devils food too
Hands down is DH's Dark Chocolate Fudge cake...
But DO NOT get it mixed up with their Butter Fudge Cake - that version is AWFUL!
If you are going for the best to decorate with, I recommend anything Pillsbury. They have pudding in the mix, which makes them very moist and I have found that their cakes do not crumb up or fall apart as easy as betty crocker and Duncan Hines. To have extra moist cake, bake your cakes a day in advance and double wrap tightly with saran wrap and refrigerate.
if i could add one that I don't like- the Duncan Hines Milk Chocolate- didn't taste like chocolate at all!
i am a fan of DH devils food, dark fudge. i doctor mine as well- coffee, sour cream and maybe add a squirt of hershey's syrup. 
delicious!!
I vote DH Dark Fudge....I doctor it with coffee and chocolate milk to get EXTRA chocolate flavor that rocks!
DITTO........I agree with Lisaa1996.......absolutely doctor it with coffee....I haven't tried chocolate milk, but I bet it would be killer good!!!!!!!
I always use this flavor for Chocolate WASC cakes, and everyone RAVES about how good and moist the chocolate cake is!!!!!
Looks like I will be going with Duncan Hines dark chocolate fudge. That seems to be the most popular. And yeah...I think I have tried the milk chocolate (thinking hersheys!) and yeah, I do vividly recall the cake tasting aweful, with little chocolate flavor. Hence the reason why I went back to the good old german choclate. lol
Thank you all for your input, I really appreciate it. I think I will try Pillsbury this weekend - just to see the difference. I have only been using DH the last couple of months.
Thanks again! you all are wonderful, as always.
Okay, I sifted the mix (?) and baked the dark choc fudge and it came out TOO moist. 
Disinigrates in mouth. Tastes mushy after its been in your mouth for a few seconds.
HAve you girls had this problem with this cake mix?

Which mix? DH? I know there are loads of supporters of DH, but I grew up as a Pillsbury Girl and never used DH until I found Cake Central and listened to all those who exhorted its virtues... must say, I went right back to using Pillsbury. Devils 
Food Chocolate.
We sift the mix because many of us have found them to be so filled with lumps that don't want to mix out. It just makes the mix time quicker so you are not over beating the cake (which opens up a whole new can of worms.)

Hands down Duncan Hines dark chocolate fudge! I want to share a story about DH. My grandparents owned a farm next to a replica of a wigwam village(motel)and they were friends with the original owners and would visit frequently and guess who was one of their famous visitors the Duncan Hines himself! He must have really impressed my family because everytime we get on the subject of cakes,especially my uncle, he goes on and on about how nice he was! I know this was off the subject but it is kind of touching to me and I wanted to share.
Dh dark chocolate fudge is my favorite.
I used this as a WASC, and used half coffee/half water...it was great!
dh dark chocolate fudge for me too! ive infused it with champagne...yummy!
best mix for me that i have found...
