Easy Cake for 2 or Just a Few (Using a Cake Mix) image

A nice way to use a cake mix without baking the whole cake and worrying about it sitting around with only a few people to eat it. Just knead the cake mix a little before opening to break up any large lumps before measuring. I just refrigerate the other 1/2 of the mix to make at another time. You should be able to make two cakes out of one cake mix. I've included a recipe that I created for Chocolate frosting but It's optional. You can frost it or choose not to. (I wouldn't double it. It's rich and you only need the amount recipe makes)
