HOW TO MAKE CAKE MIX WITH PUDDING

How to make Cake Mix with Pudding image

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...

Categories Puddings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 box cake mix, any flavor
1 box instant pudding, any flavor (4 serving size)
4 eggs
1 c water
1/3 c vegetable oil
1 c sour cream (optional)

Steps:

1. Additional items needed: Mixing bowl, electric beater, cooking spray/butter, 9x13 inch cake pan, toothpicks.
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.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
4. Grease the cake pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter. (I flour my cake pans as well, but it's not required.)
5. Combine the cake and pudding mixes with a spoon in a large mixing bowl.
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.
7. Beat all the ingredients until combined with an electric mixer on medium speed. The batter will be much thicker than regular cake batter.
8. Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and bake it for approximately 50 minutes.
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.

Tips:

Choose the right pudding mix. For a classic box pudding cake, use a chocolate or vanilla pudding mix. For a more unique flavor, try a butterscotch, lemon, or cheesecake pudding mix.
Use fresh ingredients. Fresh eggs, milk, and butter will give your cake a better flavor and texture than using store-bought ingredients.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dry cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake at the right temperature. The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Box pudding cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make a box pudding cake that is moist, flavorful, and sure to impress your friends and family.
