Duh!!! Divide by 4 = 1 box yellow cake mix, 2 3/4 c. milk, 1 pk instant vanilla pudding mix, 1 jar hot judge topping, and 24 cherries.

It was good to get a large recipe for once. This is great to take to family/church socials - very easy to make - and inexpensive.

How much easier does it get to down size a recipe than this one. I made just one pan and everyone loved it. But when we have bake sales at church or our civic center this will be surely be one I will make.

Thanks,

Linnie

Can't anyone divide by 4??? This was a good change from the normal cake but a bit too sweet for us. Thanks.

who needs a cake for 96 people, would cut it downd to 1/4

we need a recipe that is really scaled down! or a category that gives you access to create servings.

96 servings is much too large a cake. A recipe for 12 would be much more reasonable. It does sound easy but I have not made the cake.

HOW ABOUT A RECIPE USING ONLY ONE BOX OF CAKE MIX?
