We here at eChocolateNYC of course don't condone "cheating" when it comes to working in the kitchen but author
Anne Byrn makes a persuasive case for cutting corners. Chocolate From The Cake Mix Doctor is a followup to her
extremely successful The Cake Mix Doctor.
Her basic premise is that to save time and money in concocting goodies the aspiring baker can use commercial cake
mixes. By cutting the mixes with cocoa powder to bring out the chocolate flavor and adding sour cream to pump up
the moisture you end up with a more palatable piece of cake. A simple home made frosting on top, she skips store
bought frostings, and you have some more than passable baked goods in a fraction of the time.
We've experimented with a few of her recipes and can report back that they came out pretty well. If you need to
pound out 30 cupcakes or a quick cake, especially one that's going to be consumed by kids, this is a very powerful
book.
There are over 150 recipes in this book and we recommend taking a look especially if you are pressed for time and
are looking for ways to quicken the baking experience while still retaining some artistry to your cake creations.
