hi e1,
I did my first doctored cake this past weekend. I added box of instant pudding, extra egg, and milk instead of water. so it was 4 eggs, 1 cup of milk. I noticed it was a bit thicker than normal cake batter. Is that how it's suppose to be? should i add a little bit more milk? Also it was a bit yellowish to me. You think it would be okay if i did 1/2 egg, 1/2 egg white (2 egg, 2 egg white) and a bit more milk?
thnx.
Adding the pudding is going to make it a little thicker. What flavor cake mix and what flavor pudding did you use?
I would just leave it as is. I have made many doctored cakes and that is how I like the batter to look 
. If you want, you can add a little extra milk and maybe some extra vanilla. Good luck!
If you want a WHITE cake, then only use the egg whites, no yolks, and the vanilla pudding is going to give it a more yellow color, too because it is yellow. I'm not sure if there is a white pudding mix or not, sorry, but you could add a cup of sour cram or buttermilk instead of the pudding to get extra moisture.
And yes, vanilla extract, but you can use a clear vanilla so that it won't affect your cake color.
I think there is a Brides white Cake recipe in the recipe index that could guide you on the type of ingredients you might use in a doctored cake mix.
I have read that it is pretty difficult to really mess up a doctored cake because there are so many leavenings in them. So, have fun and good luck!
