Ingredients

1 cup Milk

3 large Eggs

1 Egg Yolk

2 ounces Cream Cheese (optional)

1.7 ounces Vanilla Pudding (1/2 the box)

1 Yellow Cake Mix (store bought)

1/2 cup Butter

16 ounces Cream Cheese Softened

2 cups Confectioners Sugar

1 cup Butter (Salted or Unsalted)

1 tablespoon Milk


Directions

CAKE BATTER: - Pre-heat oven to 350. - Make vanilla pudding per box instructions and set aside. - In bowl, combine cake box mix, eggs, yolk, milk, butter and cream cheese (optional), mixing ingredients in one at a time until blended. Add vanilla pudding last. It's ok if there are some lumps in the batter. Set aside. - Use 1 tsp. butter per mold to prepare two 9" cake pans. Make sure to spread all the way around, including sides. A trick for even, easy distribution: use a clean sheet of paper towel to spread butter around. - Fill each pan halfway with cake batter. - Bake 40m. Remove when slightly golden or toothpick in center comes out clean. HOW TO REMOVE CAKE FROM PAN: - Cool in pan approximately 20m. - Run butter knife around entire edge (to separate the cake from the pan). - Cover pan with a plate and flip both items at the same time. - Cake should be cool to touch before icing. THICK & CREAMY FROSTING: - In large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until well blended. - Gradually add confectioners' sugar and milk, mixing until well blended.

I love the moist, rich consistency of this variation of the cake box mix found in stores! I did add a whole box of vanilla pudding to my mix, but I think next time I'll only use half a box. Less is more, and it goes a long way. Everyone loved the cake at my house! Even my brother, who was surprised that it seems to "melt in your mouth".
