ARE YOU KIDDING CAKE

I love Amish recipes. They're usually time savers. Thanks. I'll try this.

Sound delightful. My mom taught me a trick to making a cake moister, whether it is a boxed mix, or home made, always add an extra egg. It keeps it moist no matter what.

Very interesting-so easy...I'm always looking for something yummy and quick...I am a cake decorator, so I bake ALOT-and when it comes to my family, I frankly don't want to put alot of effort into it, this is just the trick!

I made this last week for our "Thursday Girls Night", everyone loved it. So just 2 days later they asked me to make 2 more cakes. They are so yummy and I've never had a more moist cake.

I just made this cake and had a big piece. Wonderful! I am particularly impressed with the fact that it does not contain oil in the recipe, and it doesn't even need it. It took me less than five minutes to have it in the oven. So easy! This is my "Go to" recipe forever! I can't wait to try the other cakes that you suggested. Thanks for posting this great time-saving and tasty recipe!

I'm so glad you liked it Bonnie. I have a cake recipe that is MY go to cake. It's the Moist Cake Recipe of mine. Take a plain old cake mix, make as directed and add 1 Cup Buttermilk and a small box of pudding mix to the batter. I use a pudding mix flavor that matches the cake flavor...like Pumpkin Spice Pudding mix with the spice cake, or Butterscotch pudding mix with the spice cake mix....etc. The real good one is the strawberry cake mix with a cheesecake pudding mix....and a cherry cake mix with a pistachio pudding mix. Make SURE THE PUDDING MIX IS INSTANT. Add raisins, walnuts, etc. to a spice cake then and it's delicious.

Hi Jane Louise! I've been doing this for years with a chocolate cake mix and cherry pie filling. If you haven't tried it, give it a shot...sooooo delish. I also use only 1 egg instead of 3. This makes for a more dense cake. I've also made it eliminating the eggs completely and using sour cream instead. Makes dense and gooey cake.

I might try less eggs when I add raisins or dates. They tend to make the batter more moist and then the cake falls apart a little. Thanks.

made this with the dark chocolate mix and cherry pie filling...OMG....goooooood!
Thanks

A chocolate cake with cherries is called a Black Forest Cake. How easy was THAT, huh? I'm glad you liked it Val.

Jane, can this cake be made in a bundt pan? Thanks!

Not really because it's a little denser than most cake mixes and it wouldn't raise like a bundt pan calls for. It's almost like a brownie mix consistancy but comes out moist.
