Hi everyone,
In advance, I am really sorry if this is a really stupid question!! 
I have started getting a bit more adventurous with my cake mixes and I noticed that a lot of people pad out a cake mix with pudding mix.
What is this!!! My closest quess is that it's what we call Angel delight or instant whip.
Can anyone help?
Thank You 
Hi Seraphim,
I'm interested in the answer to this one as well.
Wonder whether, even if can determine product name, you'd probably need to know the ingredients/quantities to be sure talking about same product and not one that was adapted to different countries/local preferences.
Do you use packet mixes for your cakes and if so, which ones do you use. I bake from scratch but only because never tried packet mixes - I do look at them but never get round to using them.
I asked this question a while ago and Angel Delight seemed to be the nearest thing to 'pudding mix'.
I have a doctored choc cake mix recipe which calls for a 3.9oz packet of pudding mix, but I don't know if this is a standard size. The recipe I tried says to add a packet of pudding mix, an extra egg and a cup of sour cream; I tried it last weekend with a Better Crocker Devils food mix, and the result was good, but I haven't tried the BC mix on its own yet, to compare it!

I have been using the Betty Crocker Devils cake as well. I sometimes bake from scratch but i tried this a few weeks ago and it was really good. I get a bit slap-dash sometimes and experiment - i can never remember what I put in it!! I used milk instead of water in the BC Devils mix and added more oil.
I tell you, I was this close to throwing in a packet of angel delight but I didn't have enough time to make another one if it all went wrong!

I use regular instant pudding in the 3.9 oz pkg and an extra egg. very very moist!!
for a "premium" chocolate I use the Darn good chocolate reipe from CC and it has extra eggs, sour cream, pudding, chocolate chips and I use milk. also i like to add sour cream ,pudding and an extra egg to my yellow cake very delicious-oh I always use DH
I wonder if Costco do the pudding mixes? Will have a look next time I'm in there.
