i have more ideas for you if you're interested in chocolate cake. here's one idea http://startcooking.com/blog/530/Chocolate-Cake-for-Beginners

and then there's always cake mix. i saw this episode on tv about cake mixes. http://www.wnetwork.com/Shows/Th ... ews/Cake-Mixes.aspx
if you click "our tests", they tried a few brand and suggested Betty Crocker's chocolate cake mix. http://www.bettycrocker.com/prod ... ct-landing-page.htm

their review stated "The Betty Crocker was yummy – it was the closest tasting to the homemade cake – so without a doubt that’s the cake mix we’d be keeping on our shelves."

i tried it myself. i didn't add the icing nor pudding. and i've tried using both milk and water. it still tastes good. it's soooo easy to make and it tastes really good and soft and moist, considering the fact that it's cake mix! a real cake is a lot of work but if you're a last minute person, cake mix is not a bad idea.

hope this helps
