A friend of mine introduced me to this recipe years ago. She used IMO in place of the sour cream. That wouldn’t help if you were non-dairy, though, because there is milk in the pudding mix. I decided I might just as well use sour cream instead. Until the one time that I didn’t have enough in the house and I substituted Laughing Cow cheese triangles for the rest. Don’t squirm, it was okay. Not one person guessed there was such a weird ingredient in the cake and it was just as moist as ever.
I have seen this recipe with both chocolate and vanilla pudding mixes. I think you could use butterscotch, banana or coconut, too with great results. You could also substitute other varieties of cake mix, too. I bet it would be fabulous with lemon or strawberry cake and vanilla chips. Think outside the box and get creative!
