Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the vanilla pudding with the milk until thickened.
- Pour the pudding mixture into the yellow cake mix and stir together well by hand.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 13-inch cake pan.
- Sprinkle butterscotch chips evenly over the top of the batter.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 35 to 40 minutes until cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting half of the milk with buttermilk or adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract. You can use chocolate chips or peanut butter chips instead of butterscotch for a different take. Be sure to mix the pudding thoroughly to avoid lumps before adding it to the cake mix for a smoother batter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different flavor of cake mix?
Yes, you can experiment with different flavors of cake mix, such as chocolate or lemon, to create a unique version of Wasper Cake. Just keep in mind that the flavor of the pudding should complement the chosen cake mix for the best results.
What can I substitute for butterscotch chips?
If you don't have butterscotch chips, you can substitute them with chocolate chips, caramel bits, or even toffee bits for a similar sweetness. Each option will give the cake a different twist while still maintaining the overall flavor profile.
How do I know when the cake is done baking?
The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. Keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens can vary, and it's better to check a few minutes early to avoid overbaking.
