What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

THIS DOES NOT WORK!!!! DO NOT USE THIS RECIPE!!!!!
How "does it not work"? Is the flavor wrong? baking time? missing an ingredient? More information is helpful for anyone else who wishes to try the recipe.

This recipe doesn't work!! I followed the other reviewer's comment, added additional 1/4 cup of magarine. Couldn't form a dough still. Added another 1/8 cup of water, then a large egg. Still no luck. I wrapped the whole thing into a ball using foil and stuffed it into the fridge. But the thing is completely powderly. I don't expect the dough will form when I wake up tomorrow morning. Most likely I've to throw this away and use another recipe. What a waste of time.

I had to add more water and another 1/4 cup of margarine to make this recipe into dough. Also, following the direction to add water to the flour gives you a dough filled with little chips of flour which are virtually impossible to incorporate.
