This recipe has been under lock and key for years in our family. Everyone who's ever tried this moist, one-of-a-kind cake can't believe it's a mix. The dessert is perfect for St. Patrick's Day…and you won't need the luck of the Irish to whip it up! —Suzanne Winkhart, Bolivar, Ohio

I whip my heavy whipping cream until it starts to set up before I add the other ingredients. Always works to perfection! Very good cake and a fast favorite!

I have made this cake in a 9x13 inch pan and cut cooking time to 35-40 minutes. I have gotten rave reviews from co-workers and family and friends. Made for St. Patricks day and Easter.

This cake is wonderful. Stiff peaks in the frosting were difficult to get until I remembered that the pudding mix needed some time to set. After a few minutes, stiff peaks with no problem. This is a "universal" frosting. All you need do is change the pudding mix then you can have strawberry, banana, etc.
Just made for my wife's ladies Bible study group. They loved it! I'll make this one many more times. Frosting is so light and lucious!

The simple and not so sweet whipped icing is the bomb. Thanks for sharing.

WOW!!! My family and I LOVE this cake! I had no problem with the frosting. Everything came out great. I did use pistachio nuts on top. Thanx Suzanne for sharing the family secret.

The cake was delicious. I had the same problem as another reviewer with the frosting. I tried everything, but couldn't get the right consistency. My father-in-law is a baker and recommended whipping the cream and powdered sugar together to get the stiff peaks and then to make the pudding and fold it into the cream. Will try that next time and hopefully have better results!
