This was easy to make.  I think I added too much powdered sugar though because it was hard to work with on the cake.  It tasted great and I would make this again.  ****

However the cake was pretty dry.  I think it was in the oven too long even though I removed it 10 minutes sooner than the recipe called for.  It did not have the bad cocoa flavor that happened 35 years ago, but my Betty Crocker cake mix always turns out just right, is light and airy and never dry.
The mix is also so much simpler.  In the end, I think I might be willing to try the cake once or twice more to see if I can do better, simply because I would enjoy the challenge.
