Just a little trivia -- years ago cake mix manufacturers tried to put out a mix that you only added water, but they were unsuccessful because people didn't think they did enough to say they baked a cake. Bet they could put that product out now and it would be a success! Guess they were ahead of their time.

I've baked cakes from box mixes and from scratch. I prefer the taste of those from scratch and they really aren't that much work -- plus I control what goes into them!
