This is a great 'one bowl whip it up and eat' cake. We used chocolate pudding and applesauce. This cake is very light and airy yet still creamy from the pudding mix. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

fantastic is right! I used half oil and applesauce, I ran out of hard chocolate so I chopped up some semi-sweet chocolate chips and used the new Oreo cookie vanilla pudding mix, thanks for sharing weekendC!
