This was very good and easy to do. I used 2 cups of milk with the pudding mixture and it came out great! I tried 1 cup the first time and that was a disaster.

I had the hardest time with this cake for some reason. I burnt the first two cakes, I undercooked the second two cakes, finally the third two cakes came out right. By then the pudding had set overnight, I had prepared that per the box instructions. The top cake fell apart when I put it on the pudding. The whole cake just seemed very "boxy" tasting to me. I will not try again.

What a nightmare. Taste is fine but such a huge mess it is not presentable for the party that is planned. I baked according to directions, exactly, except I only used 1 cup milk in pudding. I waited for cake to cool, it was very cool and so was pudding. After pouring frosting on top it fell apart from there. Will not attempt again.

WOW!!!! THIS CAKE WAS AWESOME!!!!!! IT was just Devoured!!! Using one cup of milk in pudding is CRUICIAL! As is letting the pudding and cake cool completely. The pudding turns stiff, kinda like Mousse or Flan. That makes it PERFECT for spreading between layers. I LOVED THIS CAKE!!! THANKS!! New Family Fav!

This is a recipe that I will make again. I found this recipe when I was craving a decent dessert and wasn't disappointed. As others suggested, I cut down the milk to 1 c. and it turned out nicely. I like that it is relatively simple to make and uses things that you might already have on hand. It winds up being pretty too.

As suggested I made the pudding with just one cup of milk and refrigerated it while the cake was baking. I refrigerated the cake too just to be safe. It was great! I didn't have any trouble icing it or keeping it together. Easy!

This cake was so good I could barely keep it in the house. Everyone wanted some. My husband loves boston cream doughnuts and just adored this cake. A little advice, keep everything refrigerated even the cakes until you are ready to put it together. Definetly heat the frosting in the microwave for a minuet and then pour over the cake. Make sure the cake is on a big enough dish so the frosting doesn't go everywhere. Also cut the pudding down to 1 cup of milk. I gave it 4 stars because it is a little messy but if you keep it cold it comes out perfect. Just make sure to refrigerate cake when you are done! :0)
