Recently, my sister and I came up with this cake idea together. We wanted something super easy, and of course didn’t want to go to the store. Luckily, she had a Pillsbury Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix and Butterscotch Pudding Mix. My first thought was a poke cake, but that would’ve required another step!
This recipe for Butterscotch Pudding Cake takes a cake mix to the next level. The addition of dry pudding mix made a fluffy and moist gluten free cake unlike any I’ve had
** Thank you to my sister for taking these lovely photos of the cake! I’m guilty of getting too excited and eating my cake before remembering to take a photo.
How to Make It
By using two boxed mixes — instant butterscotch pudding and yellow cake — this one really couldn’t be easier to put together.
Simply combine the mixes, eggs, oil, water until smooth. Pour into a greased 9×13 pan, and top with pecans (halved or pieces, or combination). Bake at 350° for about 35-40 minutes.
I’ve found other “pudding mix cakes” often call for sour cream, which I don’t usually have on hand. Luckily you don’t miss it in this cake doesn’t at all!
The pecans on the top bake up beautifully and come out almost toasted. There’s a light, crisp on the top and edges if you eat it the same day it’s baked (but how could you resist?)!
