Thank you! I had hoped for substituting something into my favorite uber-chocolate recipe, but I can totally work with mix if it means no one will die and the creation is edible.
I'm not a baker, but I do have my I-grew-up-without-processed-food pride. I can damn well bake a cake from scratch.
It usually takes hours longer than it does normal people, and you can't see the kitchen through the fine veil of cocoa powder, and after the first flour explosion it devolves to a kind of ingredient war of attrition, but out of the wreckage emerges cake!
