Step 2Making the Pre-made Cakes
To start off with, get all your ingredients for the box cakes out and ready. It's much easier to work if you don't have to run to the fridge and get something every 2 minutes.
You're also going to want two (2) 8-9 inch cake pans.
An important note! Get a cake mix that requires oil and eggs!
Now, follow the instructions on the cake box pretty much exactly. If the box instructions call for greased pans, do it. Also, preheat the oven according to the box.
Use the amounts listed in the ingredients I provided, such as 3/4 oil and 4 eggs. If the mixture is too thick, use a little water. You should probably be pretty good with just the liquid from the oil and eggs though. The other important step is to mix in the chocolate chips BEFORE you pour the mixture into the pans. I've forgotten this before, and let's just say it's not good.
Now, once you've poured the mixture into the pans, bake it! It's usually a good time now to take the butter for the next cake out and let it start softening. You'll know they're done when you insert a toothpick into the cake, and it comes out clean (meaning no goo or liquidy batter). Don't overbake them though! The residule heat from the pans will cook it a bit as it cools. Once they are done, take them out and put on some cooling racks to chill for a bit.
