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!
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Made this for my husband's birthday and he loved it! I took the suggestion of cutting the layers into two and putting jelly between but I also doubled the frosting and put THAT between the middle layers as well. DH raved about it for 2 days.
