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!
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

It's a good recipe. I added a cup of shredded apples, 1 tsp of vanilla, candied ginger and used cinnamon applesauce instead of plain. It turned out to be a really rich cake that reminds me of gingerbread.
