Cook Notes
This cake is designed to be more moist and gooey than a standard cake, thanks to the pudding component. It’s a feature, not a flaw!
Variations
- Keto Version: Substitute the regular ingredients with keto-friendly alternatives, such as almond or coconut flour for the cake mix and a sugar-free pudding mix. Use a low-carb milk alternative that works well with baking, such as unsweetened almond milk, and sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Low-Carb Version: Similar to the keto version, focus on low-carb substitutes for sugar, flour, and milk.
