anyone have a good dense choc. or van. cake recipes. I use DH right now and have great reviews from it, but it seems to me when I make white cupcakes (only use eggwhites) the cupcake is moist but too light if that makes sense, its like the BC is too heavy because the cake is so light and fluffy. Is the WASC recipe any more dense?
Try one of these, they are on here somewhere but it was easier to find on SugarEd. You have to scroll down.

i read on CC a while ago to dence a cake add 1 cup of flour 3/4 cup sugar 1 teas baking powder 1/2 cup of soften butter and 2/3 cup of water after beating butter then put the ingrediants the box calls for then add the above but is this per box of cake mix??
Thats interesting mommynana, I might have to try that as well, I tried the recipe bascially was a WASC recipe and I made it with a betty crocker white cake mix, it was perfectly dense the way I wanted, moist too, only thing I would change next time is it called for 1tsp almond extract and I thought the almond was a bit overwhelming, it did say it was optional so next time I may just leave it out. Otherwise perfect! 
Okay, here they are mommynana or use this link and scroll down.

Durable cake recipe from Cake Central:
**My favorite for chocolate cake and best for sculpting
This cake is moist yet very durable and will hold up to many shapes and designs. It is light in taste and stays moist if making a day or two ahead.
