For Goodness Cake

For Goodness Cake is a super easy cake recipe made with yellow cake mix and instant pudding! One bite will surely have you saying, “For Goodness Cake!!”. Sour cream cakes, like this one, are incredibly moist and simply melt in your mouth! Adding to that, cooking this cake for a long time at a low temperature keeps all that moisture in and the cake cooked evenly throughout!

I love serving this cake after having a soul satisfying dinner. It’s simply the icing on the cake. No pun intended 🙂
