Description

This was my grandpa Hendrick’s recipe and I fondly think of him every time I make this cake. It’s my family’s favorite. I won 1st place at our county fair with this recipe!

Ingredients

  • 1 box Devil's Food Cake Mix
  • 16 ounces, fluid Chocolate Ready Made Pudding (I've Used Hunt's Snack Packs Or Canned)
  • 3 whole Eggs
  • ⅓ cups Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons (heaping) Powdered Sugar

Preparation

Mix all the ingredients together. Beat for 2 minutes. I like to get it nice and fluffy.

Pour batter into 2 greased 9 in. cake pans (I’m too lazy to flour them). Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50 minutes. Cool. I frost with a Sour Cream Frosting.

Sour Cream Frosting:
1/3 cup butter, softened
4 Tbsp. cocoa
2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup sour cream

Mix butter and cocoa together. Blend in powdered sugar. Stir in sour cream and vanilla. Beat until smooth.

I just made this recipe for my Dad’s birthday. It was a success! He loved it. The chocolate pudding made it more dense and that’s always a good thing as far as I’m concerned!
