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!

Split an angel food cake horizontally frost and put top on. Frost sides. Presto a light yet delicious cake.

I don't typically write reviews or like whipped cream based frostings (made it for someone who does) but this one is a winner. Would definitely make this again!
