At Publix, I sometimes (a few times a year) get a SLICE of their chocolate fudge cake. It's a chocolate layer cake with chocolate fudge frosting between the layers and surrounding it. It's amazing, and worth the $5 indulgence a few times a year.

At Winn Dixie, I sometimes (a few times a year) get a SLICE of their carrot cake. Equally amazing, with a tangy cream cheese frosting, actual shredded carrots and if I remember right, it has crushed walnuts in it too. Worth the $4 indulgence a few times a year.

For anything else, I bake my own, using a Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines devil's food or vanilla cake mix, and my grandmother's corn starch chocolate frosting recipe (which turns out to be the recipe off the back of an Argo corn starch box, but she claimed it was hers. She also cheated at Gin Rummy.)
