    Would these make good cupcakes? I don't like it when cupcakes are light and airy - I would like to make dense ones that stand up to the frosting. Would this recipe work for that?

    We have only tried making this in a bundt pan. It would totally change the baking time and I am not sure how many cupcakes it would make or how much to put in each cupcake tin. Sorry we're not much help with your question. Let us know how it works out if you give it a try! :) -The Six Sisters

  28. Kat says:

    Do u need to prepare the pudding it calls for and then put the pudding in the cake? Or just the powder?

  29. Cyd says:

    Hi Kat, just add the pudding powder. :)

  30. Chris says:

    I made this cake for my family and they loved it!!! We are having a Pinterest Party at Church tonight and i made it to bring. I'm sure everybody there will love it too.

  32. amber says:

    Two things - first, I just hit your "print friendly" button and all the comments and advertisem*nts on your blog are printing out! Ack!!!second, I made this recipe a month or so ago and substitued apple sauce straight across for the oil and it was DELICIOUS! I think that saved me 1 or 2 THOUSAND calories (in the whole cake!) Making it again tonight! Thanks for the recipe. Amber

  33. Sharon Nunn says:

    I make this cake for all of our birthdays. It's out favore cake, too. But I have always just melted a can of frosting and poured over to ice it. Your icing recipe looks delicious - can't wait to try it!

  34. Cindy says:

    This recipe is an old favorite of mine. I put a different twist on it by spooning a ring of raspberry jam into the batter after I've poured it into the bundt pan. Using the back of the spoon, I push the jam into the batter so that it's completely covered by the raw batter. When the cake has baked and cooled, each slice has a wonderful dollop of sweet raspberry jam in the center! It gets even better when you lightly drizzle both chocolate and raspberry balsamic vinegar over the cooled cake! Calories Schmalories! ENJOY! :)

  35. Tracey says:

    I have made this cake several times. It has always been a huge hit. Very moist!

  36. Damini says:

    Hello, Is the timings the same if I decide to use a mini Bundt cake pan? If not, could you please respond telling me the proper baking time when using the Wilton Perfect Results Premium Non-Stick Mega Mini Fluted Tube Pan, 20-Cavity.

  37. Cyd says:

    We have not made this in the mini fluted tube pan. So we are not sure of the cooking time. But with the regular size cake pan, bake until top is springy to the touch and a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean. But it would definitely not be as long of cooking time. You will have to watch them closely.

  38. Ashley says:

    Could you substitute the oil for the same amount of melted butter? I make this all the time and it’s everyone’s favorite!!

  39. Momma Cyd says:

    You should be able to substitute melted butter for vegetable oil just fine.
