Adding Pudding And Egg To The Batter Of Cake Mixes.
Decorating By tanyab Updated 6 Jul 2014 , 6:05am by bclarke52
I ususally dont add and extra egg but I always add pudding. I find my cakes to be a little more moist and dense. I like that because my cake is not cumbly at all.
I've added both the pudding and extra egg to mine before and it comes out great... there are so many different things one can add to cake mixes; sour cream, butter.. it's really limitless .. there are so many wonderful recipes in the recipe section too .. I love looking at all of them; however, after looking at them all, I almost need a bib from salivating!! 
I always add an extra egg and pudding. I usually don't put extra pudding in cake mixes that already have pudding in the mix but that does not mean you can't. My cake teachers usually add a 1/4 cup of flour. I have not tried that but I have tasted their cakes and they are pretty good.
Did just that this past thursday to a cake i baked. I used duncian hines white moist cake mix. it was the mix that already had pudding, but I added 1 box of vanilla pudding and an egg to it. The cake was wonderful!
The cake was a two tier and it held up well.
I have been told you can add mayo!!! My husband's mamaw does it.
Her cakes are great! I think it sounds nasty so I won't do it to my cakes.
OK, ignorant question here ... when you all say to add pudding and an egg, do you mean to add the dry pudding mixture and an egg? Or do we make up the batch of pudding - cool it - and then add it to the cake batter?
I told you it was an ignorant question
just add the dry pudding mix...
no question is stupid!
okay...another question..
When people add an egg....are they adding an extra egg when a box cake mix usually calls for 3 eggs? So would that mean that they are using 4 eggs?
Thanks!

Yeah, I guess there is only one size box of pudding. For some reason I was thinking there was a large and small, maybe I'm thinking of jello, or instant pudding or something.
The reason for this is to help keep the cake from crumbling? Makes it more firm?
Thanks!
Hello all,
I have a question I hope someone can answer for me.
On a 12x18 cake (using cake mix) how many boxes of pudding & eggs should I use? I'm doing 2 of this size cakes and would like to add pudding to the mix, but I'm not sure of how much pudding I should add.

The mayo may sound nasty and I know it does but it is basicly the same thing that you already add to cake mix. All mayo is, is whipped egg and oil.
Is the pudding that you add to the cake mix instant or the cooked type, I know that you use it dry in your mix. Just wondering I am making a large three tiered cake for my Mom's 70th birthday next week and may try it. It is going to be a basket weave cake with fall flowers in it.

cake77 - I used the cooked type. I didn't even know I bought that until I just looked in the cabinet!! I thought i got instant. Anyway, it seemed to work just great. Everyone said it was really moist.
Also it held up really well.
Good luck on your cake! It sounds really pretty - can't wait to see pictures!
jonmarmar - I add a box of pudding and a egg per cake mix box.
Not sure how many mixes it takes for a 12x18 cake, but if you use two mixes, then add two puddings and two eggs (additional)
I hope that answers your question.

Thanks momoftwogirls, it does answer it; i've typically used three cake mixes for this size cake, so i'll just buy six boxes of pudding! I'll let you all know how they turn out.
I just tried this over the weekend by adding the pudding (even though the mix already had it). The cake was more dense while still being very moist. It held up great and was easier to handle...less crumbs too I think. I have a doctored chocolate cake receipe that adds an extra egg and that doesn't change things as much like the pudding does!
jonmarmar - You wouldn't need 6 puddings only three. I must not have stated that correctly!
3 mixes = 3 puddings and 3 eggs
6 mixes = 6 puddings and 6 eggs
sorry if I have confused you!!!!
I usually will add just the pudding. But I have on occasion used an extra egg. I like the variety of flavor that you can get when you add extra ingredients. You can add anything and come up with spectacular results.
Ok guys I have been reading this post and am very intereted as I have never hear of adding pudding to a cake mixture, but judging from every one's replies the cakes come out great. I have one question when you refer to pudding you all mean just instant pudding mixture right??
adding a few tablespoons of sour cream and a small box of instant pudding turns any cake mix into a moist pound cake textureed cake I used a chessecake flavor pudding and lorane strawberry oil flavor it was so great. adding instant coffee flavors are good too! theres a pecan coffee that is so good in a normal yellow or white cake. A must try!
Blessed baking
For each box of cake mix add one 4 oz box of pudding (straight from box, dry)
If cake calls for eggs add 1-2 extra if you like per box of Cake Mix
I also use butter or margarine
I substitute Can milk for the amount of water called for
And I add 1 tsp Vanilla or Butter flavor extract
I try many different things to doctor up my cakes. They always come out wonderful.
