I'm making the chocolate chocolate chip cake from this site, and it says to add 2 of the larger boxes of pudding to one yellow cake mix. I only have the smaller boxes, and I was wondering if I should add 4 of the smaller boxes or if I need to weigh it out.

Anyone know how many ounces are in the larger pudding boxes?


TIA ==- Sarah

Hello

Unless your smaller boxes are exactly 1/2 the size of the larger box, I would say play it safe & go by weight.
good luck

I have a box right here it says 2.1oz... Oh wait but that's the sugarfree stuff. My regular small box is 3.3oz Sugar must weigh more. Sorry thought I would be of help - guess not. Here's a bump anyway.

OK Sarah here is your answer. The large boxes yield 6 servings each and the small boxes yield 4. 2 large boxes equal 12 servings, so if small is all you have, use 3.

Help?

Thank you so much DelightsByE! I tried to find the answer on the web, but couldn't! Where did you find the answer? Thank goodness I have a scale! The cake's in the oven now, and we'll see how she goes!

Can't tell you how much I appreciate your searching so many sites. icon_biggrin.gif

Actually I started at the Jello website, couldn't find it except the weight of the package. Searched a couple net grocery sites also, but couldn't find the answer. Decided to google "jello 5.9" and got to Amazon.com which sells EVERYTHING nowadays, they had the directions, nutritional info, just about everything that would appear on the box except the extra recipes.

Thanks for the info -- I'll have to remember that way of looking things up next time!

I have to report, however, that the cake was a failure, imho.

It took 68 minutes to get a clean toothpick at 325. It was like picking up a block of cement out of the oven, and it cooled to a not-so-nice chewy consistency towards the middle and a hard, crispy crunch on the outside. I just don't know what I did wrong, but I don't seem to have luck with the extremely doctored cake mixes.

Has anyone made this one before?

Thanks again for all the help!

Sarah
