Is there caffeine in a box of chocolate cake mix?

Yes, there can be caffeine in a box of chocolate cake mix, primarily due to the cocoa powder used in the mix, as cocoa contains small amounts of caffeine. The exact amount of caffeine can vary depending on the brand and formulation of the cake mix. However, if you're looking for a caffeine-free option, there are also cake mixes available that do not contain cocoa or chocolate. Always check the ingredient list for specifics.
