thanks for replies
Hi,
thanks for replying to my post yesterday regarding a substitute for boxed instant pudding mix for the limoncello cake. I spent quite a bit of time googling instant pudding substitutes the other day. Regular pudding recipes won't work - I've made cook-on-the-stovetop pudding from scratch (sugar, cornstarch flavoring & milk) many, many times, but the cornstarch that you use is heat activated & will apparently not work,( even as a dry mixture, minus the milk) in a cake recipe like this. I read something about a product called CLEAR GEL, that comes in version that does not require cooking, but it had an MSDS sheet! (MSDS = material data safety sheet) Usually a MSDS is only found for chemicals, pesticides etc. The fact that one (MSDS) was required for this product didn't appeal to me, since i'm trying to avoid crap in my food in the first place! I really just wanted to know if anyone has experimented with any cake recipe that calls for boxed instant puding mix, but have substituted something less gross, that achieves the same moistness(?) or whatever the instant pudding addition is supposed to do.
Thanks again
