WHAT KIND OF CHOCOLATE BOX MIX WOULD WORK?

I’m using that pan for my boyfriend’s 28th birthday. He’s a big D&D player, so I thought it was cute. I’ve read reviews, and even did a few dry runs with his favorite cake, angel food. Obviously, angel food did NOT work, so his next favorite is chocolate cake. I read some reviews online that said box mix doesn’t really work for this, but I’ve seen pictures where it looks fine. Is there some kind of box mix I should get? Would a devil’s food cake work? I’m assuming it can’t be a “super moist” variety.
Help! This pan was not cheap, and I’d really like it to come out right!
Boxed cake mix has a tendency to be too moist, which is why it doesn’t always work well in larger, more elaborate molds. It simply is not able to support itself and stand up. They key is to use a cake that is a little denser so that it can support itself and the mold in which is bakes in.
You can use a devil’s food, but I think a pound cake would work better since it’s more dense. Here is a great devil’s food cake recipe that has a nice, fine crumb and texture though.
9 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1½ cups cake flour (not self-rising)
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1½ cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
½ cup strong coffee (or water)
½ cup whole or low-fat milk
1. Adjust the oven rack to the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Butter two 9″ x 2″ cake pans and line the bottoms with circles of parchment paper.
3. To make the cake layers, sift together the cocoa powder, cake flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a bowl.
4. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer, or by hand, beat together the butter and sugar about 5 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. (If using a standing electric mixer, stop the mixer as necessary to scrape down the sides to be sure everything is getting mixed in.)
5. Mix together the coffee and milk. Stir half of the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, the add the coffee and milk. Finally stir in the other half of the dry ingredients.
6. Divide the batter into the two prepared cake pans and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
