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.

I made this cake for a girlfriends birthday gathering. Everyone raved about it. They all said it was delicious, even my husband who got one piece. He wants to know when I will make it again. I will soon as it is so good.
