Denise2434: When you add milk, do you just add the ingredients that are listed on the box (oil and eggs), or do you follow some sort of doctored recipe?

..for me, I just cook it about 2 or 3 minutes longer. Not really that much of a difference!

I'm not Denise, but I also use milk instead of water. After adding the extra egg and pudding mix, I follow the directions on the box. Just substitute the milk for the water and however much oil it calls for. I also sometimes substitute butter instead of the oil.

I always add a small box of pudding, even if the mix says it has pudding in it (i think they all say that now). I also add an egg.

I'm making a topsy turvy cake next and thinking of not adding the extra egg to see if it makes the cake denser.

Does anyone just add pudding and no egg?

What does substituting milk for the water do? Make it denser? Moister? what?

Hi Denise2434, may I ask why you don't use water in your mix? I was tempted to use milk instead of the water but was afraid I would mess it up... I use DH and love how moist they are, I don't think this would affect the moist factor but does the taste change? Thanks!

Hi Nefgaby!! I use DH too....I love my DH! thumbs_up.gif If you replace the water with milk...It is super moist and IMO it gives it a richer taste. I promise, once you give milk a try, you won't want to go back to water. icon_wink.gif

Thanks all. The milk thing sounds delish. I'm going to definitely try that! icon_smile.gif

Does skim milk work or should it be 2% or higher when using milk in cake mixes instead of water?

Hi there! Can someone tell me what 'pudding' is?

Here in New Zealand we have instant pudding, you add cold milk and beat on high for a few mins and this sets sort of into a mousse.... is this the type of thing?

I'd love to try adding it to a cake mix but want to make sure we are talking about the same thing.

Thanks

yes, that's the same kind we have that you mix cold milk with and it sets up. Our top brand is Jello. Just add the dry pudding to the cake mix. I only use 1/2 small pkg in mine, but some people use a whole one. Really makes the cake moist and helps flavor it.

I also add milk instead of water. Buttermilk in chocolate cakes. Sometimes 1/2 sour cream and 1/2 milk. I use orange juice for orange cakes. If I add sour cream, I cut the oil in half and it won't get too heavy.

I also always add extract - vanilla or butter or almond, etc.
