This is probably a stupid question but what do you mean by 'pudding'. Do you mean the powdered stuff that you mix with milk and cook and then cool to make a jello-like dessert? When you add it to a cake mix, what's the purpose of it? Does it change the texture, taste etc? You just add the powder right? I hope someone can answer my questions as I think I'd like to try it, I bake from scratch though - will it still work?! Thanks!

I've used the instant pudding mix, in dry form. The purpose of adding pudding mix is to give the cake more moistness. I don't know if you can use the pudding mix that you have to cook first.

Hope this helps some.

I was under the impression it was the pudding "powder" but I'm not sure. Maybe someone else who has done it can answer...

It is the instant pudding powder. I add it all the time to boxed cake mixes to make them moister, makes a big differance! I am sure you can add it to scratch cakes, just use all your normal ingrediants and add the packet of pudding (the small size).

I think the pudding mixes here are for 500ml of milk (about 2 cups), is that the right sort of size?

Yes, that is the correct size. Just add the powder to you cake ingrediants and it sure turn out fine!

I shall give it a go this weekend! We've lots of flavours to choose from! Can you also use it as a filling, made up a bit thicker than usual maybe?

I have never used it as a filling for a cake but I am sure you could. Pudding is pretty thick, I would think you could just make it like normal, dam your cake, and put it in between the layers.

Yes, I've used it as a filling. I just make the pie version of it, less milk (I think it's 1-3/4 cup) but I can't remember. It say's it on the box under "pie version." Ditto on the dam, it will come out the sides otherwise. And more is not always better in this regards LOL
