Hi Cakers!

Please humor me with my stupid question. When a cake rec. calls for a box of pudding, I assume they are not wanting me to add the pudding that has been made according to the directions on the pudding box?

I am thinking that I just add the "powder" pudding straight from the box......correct???

Thanks

Michael

Correct...just add the dry powder

Thank you!

Unless you are using a Pillsbury mix which already has dry pudding in it!

I normally use Duncan Hines and I find that when I also add sour cream, I don't need an entire box of the dry pudding added. Almost gives me a gummy and too wet texture.

I have seen questions on this before, and some of the responses said that if you add the pudding to also add an extra egg. I started using the pudding/extra egg and it has worked out very well...I always stress about whether or not the cake is dry...and I haven't since I started doing this.

Chasey noted that she doesn't always use the whole box...after doing a couple cakes with the pudding, I have to agree. The texture seemed too "heavy". If I am using 1 box mix, I only add 1/2 of the pudding; 2 box mixes then the full pudding box, etc. It seems to work out very well.
