Yeah... one reason I don't use cake mix because by the time you have to have do the egg part yourself, you may as well just mix the rest too. Everything's a totally normal ingredient any minimally-stocked kitchen will have—which, the egg is too, but it's the messiest/fiddliest ingredient involved (not saying it's rocket science to crack a damn egg, but everything else is easier and less error-prone). I might use it, sometimes, if it eliminated the egg step but still tasted good. I suspect it tasted like crap. [EDIT] Should have written, the messiest and fiddliest ingredient necessarily involved. Chocolate can be much, much worse if you're melting bars rather than using powder, as can some other things that may be in a cake.
