Chocolate Cake Mix Hack
-preheat oven to 325 degrees
-1 box of chocolate cake mix (I like Duncan Hines Devils Food)
(add 4 Tbls of extra cake mix if using 13.25 oz. cake mix)
-Substitute 1 cup room temp coffee instead of 1 cup water
-Substitute 1 cup of melted butter instead of 1/2 cup oil
-Add 1 extra egg (4 if using Duncan Hines Devils Food)
-Add 1 small box of instant chocolate pudding mix
-Add 1/4 cup Hershey's chocolate syrup
-Mix until just combined
-Last mix in 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips
-fill greased cake/muffin pans of choice 1/2 - 2/3 full
-bake until toothpick comes out clean (cupcakes will bake about 15 minutes, cake layers will bake around 25-30 minutes depending on the size)
-cover and freeze cakes when still warm

Store-bought Chocolate Frosting Hack
-Add 2-containers of Duncan Hines, milk chocolate frosting to a mixing bowl
-Add 2 Tbls room temperature coffee
