Open House Ribbon Torte

This is a moist layer cake that I made for my fathers birthday! He absolutely loved it, and so did everone else. The recipe calls for chocolate pudding mix, but you can substitue it for your favorite flavor (I used butterscotch). I got this recipe from a Duncan Hines cookbook.
