here's one -- and another -- but the problem with these mixes is that they are super-high in fat.

If you want to give it a shot, I'd personally mix up only the dry ingredients and omit the fat entirely. (You can also keep the mix longer, since there aren't any fats to go rancid.) You'll need to add it in when you actually make the cake. The first cake mix recipes you'll have to calculate how much fat is actually in there, but since the second cake mix recipe only make the equivalent of one cake mix, you already know it uses 8 T margarine/3 T oil (yikes). I'd probably try 1/4 C oil + 1/3 C applesauce/fruit puree (for chocolate cakes I prefer using baby food plums).

Personally, though, if you're doing this just so you can do the "cake for one" recipe, to me it seems like it'd be just as easy to make a cake from scratch and freeze it in individual portions. The "cake for one" thing is more for the convenience factor and it kinda loses that if you have to go to all of this bother.

Don't forget to check the generic cake mixes for ingredients ... they might have changed it now, but the Wal-Mart (Great Value) brand white cake mix used to be dairy-free.
