Grease 2 (9-inch) round cakepans; dust lightly with cocoa. Beat cake
mix, 1 3/4 cups water, and eggs at medium speed with an electric
mixer 30 seconds; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Pour into prepared
cakepans. Bake at 350=B0 for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick
inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10
minutes; remove from pans, and cool on wire racks. Slice each cake
layer in half horizontally. (Keep layers covered to prevent drying.)

blended; chill.
