Cake
Mix:
- 1 (18.25 oz) box yellow cake mix
- 5 eggs

- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

In a large bowl, combine the dry cake mix and only

to see how long you need to mix the batter and then
bake according to the directions on the box for
the size pans you are using.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes,
run a dull knife around the edges, then carefully
turn out onto a cake rack or plate to finish cooling.
