Adding Pudding To Bc And Pillsbury Cake Mixes?
Decorating By puzzlegut Updated 2 Feb 2007 , 2:12am by ccwkg
i thought i read somewhere that putting a pudding mix in the cake mix gave you more of a pound cake. i wanted to make pound cake the "easy" way but couldn't find where i read that
I always use Pillsbury, and add the pudding, an extra egg, and the 1 C each of flour/sugar/sour cream called for in the Extender recipe (plus a pinch of salt and either vanilla, almond or whatever flavoring.) My cakes get rave reviews from everyone, every time.

when you add all of those extra ingredients...how many layers do you end up with?
"when you add all of those extra ingredients...how many layers do you end up with?"
It depends on what size cake I'm doing.
I go by the cups-of-batter, per-layer, per-size Wilton chart that is posted here on CC: http://www.cakecentral.com/article14-Cake-Baking-Cutting--Serving-Guide---2-in-Deep-Pans.html
Rather than getting the 4 to 5-1/2 cups per cake mix, I end up with around 7 cups of batter per box when using the Extender recipe.
For exampe -- I can get one 8" round and two 6" rounds out of one box, Extended.
Does that make sense? I think I've just confused myself!

lol no i see your point...i assume you could get three 8 " layers out of it.

Buy a DH yellow cake mix and read the side. Pound cake recipe there. I only use Pillsbury but have never added pudding to it. But, after reading this thread....I guess I HAVE to now! LOLL
