    Is the pudding instant or the kind that needs cooking? Looks wonderful!

    This cake looks delicious and very moist! I'm fairly new to the lemon bandwagon so I haven't many lemon/blueberry but this cake is now at the top of the list. I have a BBQ I'm going to next weekend and I know this is going to be a big hit. Thank you!

    I feel like this might be a stupid question, but I can't figure out the answer for the life of me! Does the Cool Whip go *in* the cake, or on top? Because the recipe says to "combine all ingredients", which I would assume is everything before the blueberry sauce AND you say in your post that the whipped topping adds to the cake's lightness.

    But! Then you say to top the cake with cool whip before serving.

    I made this cake last night for a coworker's birthday, and I ended up putting the whipped cream into the cake, because the batter looked pretty stiff after I'd mixed it for 3 minutes. And it smells great... so even if it wasn't supposed to go inside the cake, I think it will all be okay! :)

      Yes very confusing recipe

    2. Debbie

      I actually don't find this confusing at all. It says combine all ingredients except whipped topping.

    Is the pudding supposed to be the Instant or the Cook and Serve type?

  5. Kris

    When do you put the butter into the blueberry sauce?

    THANK YOU!
    Also, would it work to put canned Blueberry Pie Mix over the cake?
    I would just like to use up what I have.

    So do you make the pudding first with milk an the pour it thru the holes or what.?..

    This cake is REALLY good!!! Made it yesterday - many compliments! A few notes: regular pudding - not instant or kind that needs cooking; need an extra 8-10 oz. container of cool whip for topping - that 12 oz. tub goes in the cake batter; I LOVE a very lemony flavor - added 5 oz. of jarred lemon curd (jam/jelly section in grocery) and 1/3 cup of lemon juice to batter before cooking; the cake puffs up a lot while baking - don't panic, it settles down during cooling time to hand the blueberry sauce; butter goes in with blueberries when making sauce; have extra blueberries on hand for garnish over whipped cream topping. Thanks for this great recipe!!

    Chef In Training, I found it odd that your Blanco Sauce did not call for any form of garlic. Is this a oversight or do you think this type of recipe does not need any garlic. This sounds like a tasty recipe (that maybe needs some garlic) G.M.C.

    Great recipe, however DO NOT PUT THE COOL WHIP IN THE BATTER! Even though the recipes says to "combine ALL ingredients" do NOT put the cool whip in the cake batter. Everything was great about the recipe except I had mixed the cool whip in the batter which made the cake heavy, and then I had to rush off to the store to buy more cool whip for the topping.

      good typo catch. SO sorry about that. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I fixed that in the recipe now.
