There is a whole world of Jiffy Mix mixes for you to choose from. No
more need to split regular boxes of mix.
http://www.jiffymix.com/products.php I'm sure you can add red food
coloring to Devil's Food and turn it into Red Velvet cake just like
everyone else.

The grocery stores I frequent have cut way back on Jiffy Mix products.
Maybe all you see these days is cornbread mix. I haven't seen the
Devil's Food cake mix in practically forever where I shop.
