So, I was shopping and thought I don't want to make a chocolate cake. But I love the brownie gooey consistency of the Chocolate Chip cake that I make with pudding. So, what can I make? Vanilla Instant Pudding, Yellow Cake Mix and Peaches came to mind and nearly jumped in my cart. At home I thought Pineapple upside down cake but with peaches... But no, I wanted the pudding cake. So, I recreated the chocolate cake but with the vanilla pudding and cake mix.
Ingredients needed: Yellow Cake Mix, Milk, Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix, Butter, Brown Sugar (White Sugar if you want to I have made with and without) Can of Peaches
Start off by PreHeating your oven to 350 Degrees F Then grease and flour your 9x13 cake pan (I use shortening and plain flour)
 |
| Ignore my ugly pan, it is cheap and well used..it is clean I promise! |
Then in a small sauce pan melt the butter
Pack your brown sugar to measure
Drain Peaches and place in food processor and puree
Add your sugar into the butter while keeping the burner on medium heat and mix well
I added in 2 Tablespoons of white sugar as well as the 1/2 Cup of Brown Sugar...but some ended up on the stove top...
Add Brown Sugar & Butter mixture to the pureed Peaches and pulse until mixed
In a Large mixing bowl mix your Vanilla Pudding per package instructions
Okay it says whisk...I used my hand blender
Once pudding mix is blended well add in the box mix for your Yellow Cake
Mix well, hand mixing works better than hand held blender since it gets so thick
Spread into the prepared pan (It will be think so you have to work it with a spatula)
Give that puree another burst or two to ensure mixed well
Then pour the peach puree over the top of the cake mix (use that spatula to spread it if it pools)
Pop that bad boy into the oven for 38 minutes and make sure that it is all cooked before removing it! Toothpick trick people!
Below is what it looks like done!
So here is the recipe for those of you needing it spelled out for you ;)

In a large mixing bowl mix Vanilla Pudding Mix with 2 cups cold milk until blended, then add in box of Yellow Cake Mix and stir until well blended.
Spread cake mixture in bottom of prepared pan, batter is thick and you will need to use a spatula to push into the corners. Pulse the peach puree to ensure mixed well and not separated, then pour over the cake batter in the pan using the spatula to ensure even coverage.
Place pan in oven and cook for 38 minutes or until toothpick inserted in middle of the cake comes out clean.
