Decadent Chocolate Cake

We were having friends over for dinner, and I couldn't decide what to have. Somehow the boys were suggesting chocolate cake (Funny, as I don't think Will has ever had chocolate cake, and Westley has maybe once)
Ideally I would like to bake from scratch, but sometimes there's just no way we have time for that.
I used a Trader Joe's all natural chocolate cake mix for the first time. Will helped me make the batter (he loves using the mixer) and we put it into a Bundt pan to fancy it up.
It turned out great.
I melted chocolate frosting from Fresh and Easy to pour over the top. It looked good, but I didn't really like the frosting. No one else seemed bothered by it though, so maybe it was just me

The next time I made this, I did make it healthy.
Using the Trader Joe's Chocolate Cake mix add:
1 can of pumpkin minus 1/2 cup
1/4 cup of milk with 1/2 scoop of protein powder mixed in
1 tbsp flax oil
2 tbsp melted butter
3 eggs
1 cup (approx) of water

it was VERY good!
