I'm not able to find Butter Lovers Chocolate Cake Mix. Can I use any standard chocolate cake mix for this recipe? (i.e. Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines, etc.) Please let me know- I'd love to make this cake for my sister's birthday! Thanks!

I'd say any chocolate cake recipe is good.. the butter lovers is just buttery and yummy. We like moist cakes. Either way, use anything you want and make it your own. It is delicious!!!

Wonderful recipe! This has become a family favorite. I have even used a Duncan Hines Devils food cake mix and it taste even better than the regular chocolate cake mix. But remember to use three round cake pans if you use the devils food cake mix. Thanks Bernadette & Hendrix for submitting a great cake recipe!!

WOW, I was reluctant to try this because of all the butter, but I made it for an office get together and WOW, just make it exactly as it says (I did add mashed strawberries to the icing... Yummy and pretty). Now I'm back to get the recipe to add to my favorites in my personal cookbook!!
