      Listen I personally think it is stupid to have your entire life story on the recipe. I came to your website to find a recipe for chocolate cake mix and had to scroll forever to find it. I don’t care about your blog I just want chocolate cake so just put the recipe at the top and give your dumb commentary at the end. And yes I know you have a jump to recipe button but the fact that you need that is just disappointing.

      Recipe sounds good. How long would a full size cake cook for?

        Hi Crystal, it would take an hour or less to bake the cake and another hour for the cooling time. I’m sorry for the late response.
