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!

i disagree on the level of this i think it is more of a 2 my 5 yr old made this except i put in oven and took out they are really good this is my first recipe i have made from this site and i will be making more
Although I these cookies are good, you may want to include a little more flour as the cookies were flat.
