Notes
Add 1 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips to 1 or both loaves if desired.
If making 1 loaf in same size pan, bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until done. If making cupcakes, bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until done.
Store in airtight container up to 3 days for best quality.

Some brands of cake mix have changed from 15.25 oz to 13.25 oz. I have tested this recipe with both sizes and haven't noticed a change.
