This is a family favorite!

I make a slightly lower calorie (but equally delicious!) version here..

Too chocolatey for me, but everyone else loved it! I used regular pudding, not the sugar free, so it was much richer. I also used orange extract instead of the almond, because of allergies. The orange extract added a nice flavour. The pudding made the cake extra moist, but the frosting was what everyone enjoyed!

Absolutely love this! It is hard to stay away from and does not last for long!

Quick and easy. The almond extract was perfect in the frosting. I made mine in a smaller pan and had to add about 20 minutes to the bake time, but my husband and I both agreed that it was one of the lightest cakes we've ever eaten. A repeat recipe for certain.

Very delish. Made for my daughters b-day and had no leftovers. Had chocolate cake and chocolate icing. Used orange extract instead of almond. Would definately make again.

This is definitely the BEST low cal cake I have ever had! I have also tried it with yellow cake and vanilla pudding (frosting) it is so good. Thanks for sharing

Brilliant recipe. Very easy to make. Made this a couple of times when we had company and it went down a treat. Ammended topping slightly. Mixed 1 packet of chocolate pudding with 200ml of whipped cream and just kept if simple, and it still tastes great. Good thing is you can whip this up in no time with minimum effort and the results are amazing. I would go as far as saying it tastes better then shop bought cakes. Will try making it next time with layering cake and frosting and decoarate with flake.

I don't understand what we went wrong with our frosting. We followed the instructions very closely and were very careful on the measurements but unfortunately the frosting still came out watery. :(
