Today, we all lead very busy lives and don't have hours to spend in our kitchens baking cakes.

When I am pressed for time and need a nice dessert cake, I will reach for a box of chocolate cake mix. I don't bake just plain cakes, I like to add things to them to make them 'extra special'.

Cake Baking Tips:

1. Invest in a cake tester. You can pick up one for less than $ 6.00 at most kitchen stores.

2. Don't over bake your cakes. I tend to remove my cakes from the oven 3-4 minutes before the recommended time because they will continue baking in the cake pan.

3. Don't grease and flour your baking pans unless the recipe calls for it.

4. Always let your cakes cool before frosting them.

Here are some recipes that you can easily make from a box of cake mix.
