If you run out of chocolate pudding don’t panic! Just grab a packet of instant vanilla pudding and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder whisk together then add to your batter.
Because standard boxed chocolate pudding is essentially just a vanilla base with cocoa powder and extra sugar already mixed in, this easy hack gives your cake the exact same rich, chocolatey, and moist flavor as a regular box.
