Though I love to cook, I'm fairly new to baking "outside the box" lol. I've seen several wonderful sounding recipes I'd like to try, listing cake mix with pudding as an ingredient. Yay!! Right up my alley! =D But wait, I've never seen a cake mix with pudding. Hmmmm.... So I did a little internet digging and found this article/recipe. Thought I'd share it for anyone else out there who was scratching their heads. "You can use cake mix with an additional ingredient to make it taste moist and homemade: pudding. Adding an instant-pudding mix to your cake mix and altering the other ingredient amounts and bake time will produce a delicious cake--and no one will detect that it started with a mix. Difficulty: Moderately Easy" Source: http://www.ehow.com/how_4868568_add-pudding-cake-mix.html

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sour cream (optional)

How To Make how to make cake mix with pudding

  • Step 1
    Additional items needed: Mixing bowl, electric beater, cooking spray/butter, 9x13 inch cake pan, toothpicks.
  • Step 2
    Select identical flavors of cake mix and instant-pudding mix, such as chocolate cake mix and chocolate pudding. If you want a more complex cake flavor, select complementing cake and pudding mix flavors, such as yellow cake mix and lemon instant-pudding mix.
  • Step 3
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Step 4
    Grease the cake pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter. (I flour my cake pans as well, but it's not required.)
  • Step 5
    Combine the cake and pudding mixes with a spoon in a large mixing bowl.
  • Step 6
    Add four eggs, 1 cup water and 1/3 cup vegetable oil. If you wish to make a denser cake (similar to a pound cake) add 1 cup sour cream.
  • Step 7
    Beat all the ingredients until combined with an electric mixer on medium speed. The batter will be much thicker than regular cake batter.
  • Step 8
    Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and bake it for approximately 50 minutes.
  • Step 9
    Insert a toothpick in the middle of the cake and remove it. If the toothpick comes out clean with no raw batter, the cake is done.
