This has probably been asked before but when adding a box of pudding to a cake mix (and an extra egg) do I use regular pudding or instant? icon_confused.gif Can I add milk chocolate to a devils food cake mix or would that not be a good idea? TIA

Definitely instant! And I don't think it matters which flavors of chocolate. I intermingle all the time!

I add instand. I have never tried cook and serve. I add many different combinations white chocolate to butter cake, chesecake to butter or white cake, and yes the always favorite of my husbands work buddies chocolate pudding in devils food chocolate cake! Yummy!!! never tried actual chocolate added to a cake but I dont see why it would not work. I have made chocolate chip cakes before, however chips are made to bake and stay together for lack of a better term.

So I guess I am no help afterall. So heres a BUMP!!!!!
Good luck,

Mel,

I use instant pudding and one egg and never had any trouble with it. I have not used the cooked pudding.
Use chocolate chips rather than milk chocolate it holds together better.

I'm sorry, I guess I didnt make myself very clear. I wanted to add milk chocolate pudding to devils food cake mix but all I have is cook and serve pudding so I guess I'll wait until tomorrow and go to the sotre for instant. Thanks for all the replies.

You shouldn't have a problem with those flavors but I have read that the cook and serve won't react the same as the instant and the cake won't turn out. Dang-now I want chocolate cake! icon_razz.gif

At this point, I'd stick to instant pudding. When things calm down here I'll try the cook and serve type, for my family. That way there's no great problem if it's a bit odd.
