Thank goodness for cake mixes. I'm not a "scratch person" and this one takes the cake!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Need an easy semi-homemade dessert? Add this one to your recipe box. It has a rich chocolaty taste with a nice creamy hint of cream cheese. The cake has a smooth, silky texture. Great for potlucks or cookouts.
