A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

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 really love this cake. has a great mix of lots of flavors. i replaced the vanilla pudding with banana pudding because i didn't have vanilla pudding but it didn't even taste banana-y. and i agree, its like a coffee cake.

My sister recommended this. It is delicious and rich. It is more like a coffee cake than a dessert. I pulsed the nuts in the food processor utnil they were quite fine and think it was a good modification.
