I don't own an electric mixer, so cakes are pretty much the only baked dessert I won't make from scratch. I do make amazing chocolate fudge frosting though. So I make a cake from a Dunkin Hines or Betty Crocker box (whichever's on sale). Both brands result in a devil's food cake that stands up well to the frosting. I make a layer cake with the stuff. If you've ever had an Entenmann's Filled Blackout Cake, it's sort of like that. But better.
