#560 - Dream Whip Pudding Cake

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 envelope Dream Whip
1 box Duncan Hines yellow cake mix OR 1 box Duncan Hines devil's food cake mix
3 eggs
1 cup cold water if making the yellow cake mix OR 1 1/4 cup cold water if making the devil's food cake mix
1/4 cup canola oil
1 - 3.5oz. box Jell-O vanilla pudding and pie filling (NOT instant) if you're making the yellow cake mix OR 1 - 3.5oz. box Jell-O chocolate pudding and pie filling (NOT instant) if you're using the devil's food cake mix

In a mixer add all ingredients for the kind of cake you've chosen--beat on low speed until moistened. Scrape the sides of the bowl, then beat on medium speed for 4 minutes. Pour batter into a 9 x 13 x 2 greased cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool, then frost the cake. You can use any of our frosting recipes if you wish (recipe #515, #475, #308, #187, #149, #2).

I always forget the proportions in this recipe, thanks for having it available. This is the greatest way to tweak a cake mix ever! I always get loads of compliments.

I've made this for my son's birthday for (holy mackeral!) 30 years now, but this year I could't find the recipe. It's the best. I divide the batter into three 8-inch pans and use a whipped cream frosting. Because of the extra layer and the smaller circumference pans, it's known in my house as the Chocolate Tower cake.

I have made this cake for more than 26 years. It is 10 times better than any ordinary box mix. I've also used lemon cook & serve pudding with a lemon cake mix with great success! A coconut pudding is fantastic with a coconut cake mix too.
