I was just getting ready to bake, and was going to try adding a box of pudding mix and extra egg to the cake mix for the first time. I realized I had no idea if sugar free worked okay. I always buy sugar free pudding mix and jello and never gave it a second thought until I was just getting ready.

I left the oil out of the last cake mix I made and loved the texture. Can I do that with the added pudding and egg too?

LOL - this might just be my practie cake that I'll HAVE to eat and make sure it's okay - HA HA HA HA HA. I usually just make the cake mix according to directions and only recently started to play around with it.

SF pudding should be fine. It has less bulk, but the rest of the ingredients are the same.

When I was given the recipe with added pudding it said not to use SF but for the life of me I can't remember why-sorry!

I usually use sf pudding with my cake mixes and turns out fine, although I also always add 1 packet of dreamwhip as well. I especially like sf jello white chocolate pudding.

ohh I also do not add oil.

Thanks for all the replies. I know that sometimes the sugar free ingredient just doesn't "bake" right. I'll go ahead and give it a try. I probably would have it in the oven already, but dh called and said coworker would like a heart shaped cake if possible. WOO HOO I have an excuse to buy another pan LOL. I know I can get the heart shape with a square and a round, but really, it's not as much fun as buying another pan. DH didn't get it roflmao.

Cake came out of the oven a little while ago. I used a lemon cake mix and added one box of sugar free lemon pudding mix and one extra egg. I still can't bring myself to leave out the oil completely, so I only added about a tablespoon. The little extra that I baked in a smaller pan tasted great. I wrapped up the bigger one in plastic wrap after cooling for ten minutes, so I'll find out tomorrow how that worked.

Oh yeah, I went and used my 40% off coupon at Hobby Lobby and got the set of four hear pans. HL had all wilton pans at 33% off.
