I'm making a cake from a Betty Crocker cake mix and I want to make sure it's REALLY REALLY moist. Any suggestions? I'm looking for something the texture of the chocolate molton dessert at Chili's. I know I won't get the same thing from a cake mix, but I would like to try. It's just for me because I'm pg and craving moist chocolate cake. :) Thanks!

use equal parts cream and chocolate chips. boil the cream and add to the chocolate chips. mix until it forms a smooth constancy with no chucks. spread out in a dish and refrigerate. use a small scooper and make balls about 1/2in around. mix the cake mix and scoop out into muffin pans and put 1 ball in each. push into the center and bake as for cupcakes. quick and easy molten cakes. AND you can freeze them before you are ready to bake and make a couple at a time.

The cakes with mayonnaise are so moist, like this one which everybody loves :

I always use a little extra oil and add a box of pudding mix in addition to what is already in the mix. If you take it out just before it's done it should have that moist goopy center. But just done is very moist.

Well there is a mix you can buy to recreate that same dessert. Seen it on the supermarket shelves next to the cake mixes not sure who (brand) makes it. Haven't seen a recipe to make it from scratch. the only cake I know that comes close is "Tunnel of Fudge" a Pillsbury bakeoff recipe winner.

Try adding some instant chocolate pudding, and then undercook the cake by several minutes. Also, frost it immediately after removing it from the oven, and poke holes in it first so the frosting drenches it! Good luck with it all.

use a tiny bit more veggie oil than they call for and use smaller eggs or one less egg than it calls for. This will make it much more moist. You can also try swirling in some hot fudge with the batter. This is very delicious!
