I think everyone is allowed a dumb question now and then. Here goes mine. Sure wish I could do this annonimously...........when using this recipe, are you suppose to follow the directions on the box and then add the extra ingredients or just the ingredients and the dry cake mix? I have made this several times but never tasted it until the other day and thought the texture was wrong.

It depends on how the recipe is written out. I can't remember how it is on here, but if it has the eggs and oil and water listed in the ingredients then you wouldn't need to add what it calls for on the box as well. If it just has the extras then you would need what is called for on the box.

Can you link to the recipe you are using?

texas sugar...
1 cake mix
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 sm box instant pudding
1 cup sour cream
3 eggs
dash of salt
1 Tbsp flavoring
1 cup liquid

I use a very similar recipe and you only add the dry cake mix. I have had nothing but great results. HTH

For that recipe I would just use those items and not add what is called for on the box.

I noticed that there is no oil in that recipe. Also when using doctored recipes and pudding I have always added 4 eggs.

What is the texture like?
