This cake is the best ever. I was going to post my recipe and found this recipe to be almost the same. The only difference is it calls for 1/4 cup oil instead of 1/2 cup and also suggests that if you choose to use cake mix with pudding in the mix use only 1/4 cup water instead of the 1/2 cup suggested. The recipe also calls for 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.

<p>I'm retired since August 2007 after 20 years from a library in central Wisconsin. I guess you could say my hobby is cooking. My husband has even gained weight since I am home more. <br /><br />I love trying new recipes and just started smoking food in my new smoker. So far I have only made salmon and turkey. Both turned out good. <br />We have two grown children and two granddaughters. <br /><br />We also love camping and try to go often. My husband loves fishing and hunting so we have alot of fish and venison and the freezer. <br /><br />I love Zaar and visit the site almost every day. I really love it when I get a good review on one of my recipes. I just wish members would alow zaar mail fo I could thank them for the review.</p>
