I NEED A LITTLE ADVISE/HELP. I'M MAKING THAT ENHANCED CAKE FORMULA WHICH CALLS FOR:

1 CAKE MIX BOX
I CUP ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
1 CUP GRANULATED SUGAR
A DASH OF SALT

3 LARGE EGGS
1 1/3 CUP WAER
1 CUP SOUR CREAM
1/2 CUP MELTED BUTTER.

CAN I ADD AN INSTANT PUDDING TO THE RECIPE WITHOUT MESSING IT UP I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE INSTANT PUDDING WILL DO TO THE BATTER REALLY?

CAN I USE MILK INSTEAD OF WATER? OR HALF MILK HALF WATER?

THANKS DIAMONDSMOM.

I use the enhansed mix all the time, but have never put pudding in it. I have altered the mix and added coconut, more cream, less cream, etc.

Also, the recipe I use is just a little different than the one you have listed...it's 1/3 cup water, 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, and 1 cup butter - everything else is the same. That makes me think that almost anything goes.

This is a pretty dense cake - by adding pudding, doesn't that make cakes more dense?

I wouldn't be affraid to try it.....but let us know your results.

Someone else may have better info than I do. Good luck.

I used this recipe last weekend for my son's wedding cake. I did not add pudding, but I substituted whole milk for the water, and added 1 extra egg (4 total), and 2 tsp of vanilla. I used Duncan Hines' Classic White mix. It was VERY good. icon_smile.gif
