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!

I definitely agree with you about from-scratch versus box mix...
I'm pretty sure you could mix up a just-add-water (well, maybe just add water and oil) cake mix yourself... what would you need? Flour, sugar, leavening... use soyflour to replace an egg and powdered milk... I think it would work!
I've been wanting to try Miss Maggie's cake mix recipe for a while too...
