Notes

Written in nan's book as: 1 chocolate cake mix, 1 pk chocolate pudding, 1 250 ml sour cream. Filling: 1 cup Nutriwhip, 1 pk vanilla pudding, 1 cup milk. Icing: 1 pk chocolate chips, 1 tbsp oil, 1 tin cream. Mix cake mix using only 1 cup water. Add pudding and sour cream. Mix pudding and milk, add Nutriwhip. Layer cake, filling, repeat. Ice cake.

Only 1 cup of water, no matter what the box says. That is the whole point of the recipe.

The puddings are the instant kind, used dry into the batter and made up with milk for the filling.

No oven temperature or bake time is written. Use whatever the cake mix box says.
