I use so many cake mixes in recipes that call for one as the base: Coffee cakes, muffins, bars, cookies. Hans, you provided another excellent example with the Hornet's Nest Cake. At any rate, I go through 2-4 boxes of them every week when making treats for the break room.
Biscuits: Not a fan of the canned ones at all, although if you grew up with them it's probably a familiar, comforting taste. I've only ever made cream biscuits. 2 cups of self-rising flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1-1/2 cups of heavy cream and you're done! Bake at 500 degrees for 10 minutes. Don't know if they are sanctioned by true Southerners, but I like 'em.
