An experienced baker has shared her secret hack for making the best cupcakes on a popular Facebook group.

Home cook Elaine said that she decided to combine ALDI's White Mill Vanilla Super Moist Cake Mix with a packet of Cottee's Instant Pudding which was purchased from Coles, with delicious results.

She said that the results were so good that she might never make another cake from scratch again.

“I have baked cakes for many years and sold them,” wrote Elaine on the ALDI Mums Facebook page.

“However last week on a whim, I made cupcakes with this packet … and extra egg and this vanilla pudding, which I bought at Coles. Well, I don’t think I will bother with scratch vanilla cakes any more. It was fabulous.”

Elaine explained that she mixed up the ALDI cake mix following the packet instructions and added an extra egg as well as the whole packet of Cottee's instant pudding.

She said she didn't mix the pudding and just added it to the cake mix as is.

The pudding mix, explained Elaine, “just gives a little more flavour and a little more moisture” to the cake.

The hack thrilled group members, with many sharing their results.

“Made it once before and it was the best cake if ever tasted,” said one.

Added another: “I did some cake making classes and I kid you not the lady taught me this trick with a packet mix and the pudding.”
