This receipe needs some tuning. The cake sunk terribly. Very mushy inside. I was questioning myself to determine if it was done or not. Then, I thought about the chocolate pudding, oil, warm water. Flour, pudding egg ratio maybe off. Thats a little bit of flour too. The cake is good. I did the toothpick test. It looks like a mini cake or something..I suggest trying milk/buttermilk..I’ll have tk experiment with this. If the texture of this cake should be mushy like based on the pudding pack alone, that should be mentioned.

@Kieda, omg, mine did as well. This may need tuning. It was nice looking when I pulled it out and then its sunk in so bad. Looks like a mini cake

@Di Shawn, did you ever try this? I tried this recipe twice subbing half of the oil for butter. It was delicious but both times the cake shrunk, sunk in, just horrible looking. Undone inside like pudding texture but tasted so good nonetheless.

Hi Charbel. May I substitute butter and/or butter-flavored shortening for the oil? And May I substitue milk for the water?

1/8 cup is 2 tablespoons, so 7/8 cup is 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons.

Hi Judy – That should be about right. I just used 1/2 cup + 1/3 Cup. You could really just use 1 cup and it should be fine. I’ll update the instructions to make it more clear. Thanks!

Never have I seen a cake recipe using only 7/8 C. flour. Is that equal to 1 C. minus 1 Tbs. or less?
