Wonderful cake!!!! The vanilla pudding was a unique idea as icing. I made this cake yesterday and I made the yellow cake mix from scratch using cake flour. I have been on a cake flour kick in all of my cakes lately and found an easy recipe for making cake flour. It's cheaper and more delicious way.

AMAZING! i made a few adjustments to make this cake less fattening, and it turned out soooo well, i cannot say enough about it. instead of oil, i subbed cherry yogurt in the cake mix, and used the water and eggs as directed. the cake wasstill incredibly moist and the cherry added extra flavor. i used fat free sugar free pudding and sugar free pie filling. i could have eaten half the pan in one sitting it is that good!! definitely try this recipe !!

I made this cake tonight and just finished having some. Wow! It was delicious. All three of us had second helpings. I thought the cherries might turn the cake too sour, but the combination of the vanilla pudding and yellow cake with the cherries was perfect. Do make sure you use the pan size specified. Mine was too small, so once the cake was cooled, I put it on a cookie sheet and then added the toppings. Absolutely delicious!! I definitely will make this again. I doubt the leftovers will last very long! :-)

This recipe was super easy...and super good! I shared it with some friends who also thought it was amazing :o) It is an easy way to add a little "oomph" to a simple cake.

I gave this 4 stars because I haven't tried it with cake. I made it with brownies and it was AWESOME!!!

This is a very quick, easy to make & great tasting cake to make when you have little time to make something more elaborate. I used cherry chip cake mix which was delish. I also added some cool whip to the vanilla pudding mix. One word of advise I used an 8x12 pan which isn't large enough. There wasn't enough room to use all the pudding mix without spilling over the sides! I would try making this again possibly with chocolate cake..umm choc cake with cherries:)

Fun, cheap dessert for family that begs for sweets but you have little to nothing on hand. I used a low-sugar cake mix made with a can of diet lemon lime soda (something I learned years ago through Weight Watchers), sugar-free cheesecake flavored pudding (made with fat free evaporated milk) and "lite" cherry pie filling. Honest to God, my husband has eaten half of this already. He says it's really yummy and I'm evil to have made it. Double bonus because I've 1) made my husband something sweet with little effort and 2) I've cleaned out my pantry. YAY!

This cake is delicious! Not being a fan of instant pudding, I opted to use Cook & Serve instead. My guests loved it and came back for more. I will definitely make this again.
