How To Make Cake Mix With Pudding Recipes

HOW TO MAKE CAKE MIX WITH PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. Additional items needed: Mixing bowl, electric beater, cooking spray/butter, 9x13 inch cake pan, toothpicks.
• 2. Select identical flavors of cake mix and instant-pudding mix, such as chocolate cake mix and chocolate pudding. If you want a more complex cake flavor, select complementing cake and pudding mix flavors, such as yellow cake mix and lemon instant-pudding mix.
• 3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• 4. Grease the cake pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter. (I flour my cake pans as well, but it's not required.)
• 5. Combine the cake and pudding mixes with a spoon in a large mixing bowl.
• 6. Add four eggs, 1 cup water and 1/3 cup vegetable oil. If you wish to make a denser cake (similar to a pound cake) add 1 cup sour cream.
• 7. Beat all the ingredients until combined with an electric mixer on medium speed. The batter will be much thicker than regular cake batter.
• 8. Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and bake it for approximately 50 minutes.
• 9. Insert a toothpick in the middle of the cake and remove it. If the toothpick comes out clean with no raw batter, the cake is done.

PUDDING POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions for one 9x13 inch cake. Remove cake from oven. Poke holes at once down through cake to pan with the round handle of a wooden spoon. Holes should be at 1 inch intervals.
• Combine the pudding mix with the confectioners' sugar and gradually stir in the milk. Beat with an electric mixer at low speed for not more than 1 minute. Do not over beat. Quickly, before pudding thickens, pour about 1/2 of the thin pudding evenly over the warm cake and into the holes. (This will make the stripes in the cake.) Allow the remaining pudding to thicken slightly then spoon over the top, and spread to frost the top of the cake. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

BOX PUDDING CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare cake mix as directed on box, using a 13x9 pan.
• Remove cake from oven and using the handle of a wooden spoon, immediately poke holes in the cake about 1 inch apart, making sure to go all the way down to cake bottom.
• Combine pudding mix and sugar in a large bowl.
• Gradually stir in the milk and beat on low speed for about 1 minute with an electric mixer (do not over beat).
• Quickly, before pudding thickens, pour about half of the thin pudding mix evenly over the warm cake and into the holes.
• Allow the remaining pudding to thicken slightly, and then use it to frost the cake.
• Chill for at least 1 hour before serving, and keep stored in the refrigerator.

CAKE MIXES FROM SCRATCH AND VARIATIONS

Steps:

• For a Yellow Cake: Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in shortening until fine crumbs are formed. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla. Beat at low speed for 1 minute, then high for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl frequently.
• Pour batter into greased and floured 9x13 inch pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes.
• Variation for a White Cake: Prepare as for the basic cake except use 3 egg whites for the 2 whole eggs. Whites may be beaten separately and added for a lighter cake.
• Variation for a Chocolate Cake: Add 1/4 cup cocoa powder to the basic cake mix prior to adding the milk.
• Variation for a Spice Cake: Add 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice to the basic cake mix.
• Variation for a Pineapple Upside Down Cake: Melt 1/2 cup butter in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Add 2/3 cup brown sugar, stirring into the butter. Arrange pineapple slices in the pan. Top with the basic (yellow cake) mix recipe. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, cool 5 minutes, and invert to serve.

THE EASIEST CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
• In a large saucepan combine the non-instant pudding mix with 2 cups milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding is thickened. Remove from heat. Pour the dry cake mix into the saucepan and mix until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan and sprinkle with chocolate chips and walnuts.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
