Been using the 3D Durable cake recipe with much luck...love it. Tried to use the Enhanced Cake recipe this weekend and all heck broke loose...

Making 12"x2" hexagons -- followed the recipe and included the butter has stated - I also threw in a packet of pudding...went to bake the cakes (flower nail in middle and bake even strips)...well, at 325 (as the directions said and my oven was truly at 325) I cooked the first layer for a little over an hour - toothpick came out with a few crumbs -- ten minutes of cooling and cake sunk and when I flipped it out it was obviously not completely cooked with no crumbcoat on outside hardly at all....

Onto the second layer, cooked this one for over 1.5 hours - it got a better crumbcoat on the outside but still sunk a bit and really doesn't feel very solid -- worried that when I layer it is going to fall apart on me...

Is this normal or did I mess up? I'd like to have a couple of options besides the 3D cake recipe.....

Bump!

Did you use instant pudding or cook n serve? I had heard that sometimes this happens with the cook n serve...but it could be that your cake is just too moist with the extra pudding.
