My IL's cooked this cake and its the most amazing tasting cake I have ever had, so moist and such a great flavor!

Mississippi Magazines Pound Cake

1 (18.25 oz) Duncan Hines Coconut Supreme Cake mix
2/3 c sugar
2/3 c oil
1 c sour cream
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine cake mix and sugar with mixer. Add oil, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla and beat for 2 minutes. Pour batter into greased and/or floured heavy Bundt pan and bake for 45 minutes. Do not open the oven. Remove from oven to wire rack. Cool 10 minutes and remove from pan. May dust with confectioners sugar. Yield 12-16 servings

Note: may sink a little in the middle. In my oven, cooks better on the upper rack.

Preparation and cleanup time: 30 minutes

You can also substitue the cake mix for Spice Cake Mix with a basic cream cheese frosting.

Recipe was in the Mississippi Magazine May/June 2009 episode and was the grand prize winner-Peggy's Pound Cake.
Both (regular and spice cake mix) were brought to a teacher seminar we had and they were amazing. I havent made it yet but plan to soon and will share pictures. I do think the regular one is better though.
