Okay this may sound dumb, but when you put pudding in the cake mix do you mix the pudding first and then add it to the mix? Like do you make the pudding with all the milk and then add it or do you just pour the box of pudding in dry??? I hear about pudding all the time and finally got up enough nerve to ask the question, so try not to laugh to hard and tell me the answer to the question that has kept me up at night...LOL Thanks everyone

Don't feel dumb. This has been asked by others, myself included. Just add one box of instant pudding directly to the mix, don't add anything else extra.

I've only made this once and added the dry mix to the dry cake mix, etc.
No, I did NOT make the pudding first. Just add the dry to the cake mix. What I did find though is that the cake took much longer to bake and it did extend the amount, but I'm just not sure if it's that much better.
You be the judge.
And NO, there is no stupid question on CC!!!! That's what all of us are here for. I am no expert, but occassionally I do have an answer and always have questions!!

I always include a dry pudding mix into my batter- even if the box says there's already pudding in the cake mix. The effect is outstanding!! I definately think it makes all the difference in the world!

Happy Baking!!

imakecakes,
Do you ONLY add the pudding mix?
Or do you add other additives as well?

Do any of you add pudding mix to a scratch cake? I've often wondered if I did this how would I know how much to add etc. Also have any of you used the sugar free puddings in your baking?

Thanks everyone and thanks you for not making me out stupid. I guess I just don't get how this would help to make the cake more moist. So you don't add anything else just the pudding and it magically becomes moister??? Like you don't add more water or milk???? HUH... Weird but I will give it a try. Thank you all again your wonderful

I usually try to match my pudding mix to my cake and I replace the water with 1/2 & 1/2
