Hi, does anybody know what a "jello vanilla pudding mix" is, or what I could use in place of it. I found a nice recipe for a rum cake but it calls for this! I'm flumexed by the US

Thanks for any help.

Could it be that you just have to add a box of the pudding in? Most of the boxed mix cakes say that adding a box of pudding will make the cake moister. It's one of the method I use. HTH

Noticed that you are in the UK. This is the pudding mix.

Hope it helps.

Boxed Instant Puddings do not have a ready substitute.

The Jello brand retails around £2.99 per box plus postage while the South African Moirs brand retails £0.99 to £1.29 [order a reasonable amount and UK postage is free.]

Thank you for all your replies and links.

I wondered if anybody knew of maybe a UK alternative that I could use? Do you think it could be Angel Delight?

It looks like similar to angel delight to me. I guess the only way to find out is experiment with it.

Yeah I might try, but it seems weird to put AD mix in a cake I'l let you know if I try it.

Does it be "Jello" brand. We have different brands here in the US. I think as long as it is a pudding mix, probably instant, not the cooked kind, it would be ok. Do you have any brand of instant pudding in the UK? I don't see why you couldn't use that instead of Jello brand.

The instructions and ingredients from a packet of jello instant pudding ( at least according to amazon's product info) seem to be the same as those written on the back of the pack of tesco's delight that I got. Haven't tried it in a recipe yet as the kids found it and made themselves pudding. HTH

Yours aye

Looks like its Angel Delight then let us know how it turns out

Thank you all for your help.

I'l keep you informed on that one.

Now, what about white cake mix? Anyone any ideas what that is
