This is a box cake from Hodgkin's Mill, and it's better than traditional box mixes. The secret is to follow the instructions to the letter, down to the sequence of ingredients. The batter is thick; it doesn't have all the air you have in traditional mixes with gluten. As a result, the cake is dense but will not give you a bloated feeling; in fact, you'll feel satisfied, moreso that with flour-based cakes. The icing I made from scratch with whipped butter, confectioner's sugar, and milk. I served this to my whole family, and they really liked it. It has been over a year since I've had a devil's food cake, so it was cause for a celebration.
