This cake has been a family fav. for many years, and the variations are almost endless, as long as you follow the basic combination of ingredients.
1 cake mix
1 box of instant pudding
1 cup of sour cream
4 eggs
1/4 cup cooking oil
3/4 cup water
* extra 2 TB. flour for higher altitudes
This cake can be made with the following variations. For a rich chocolate cake, use the fudge cake mix, chocolate pudding, and for an even more decadent desert add in 3/4 cup semi-sweet choc. chips after putting batter into the pan. (sprinkle them on the top of the batter and then just push them down with a fork.) Frost with choc. buttercream.
For cinnamon swirl, use yellow cake mix with vanilla pudding and layer with cinnamon sugar mixture. Lemon cake is great with lemon pudding, and a great poppy seed almond combo. is good with the yellow or white cake mixes, and almond flavoring. Go crazy with the possibilities!
Prepare pan, with shortening and flour or a cinnamon/sugar combination - Preheat oven to 350 and then beat together all ingredients in mixer - 1 min. on low speed to combine, and then 3 min. on higher speed. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 40-45 min.
