Feedingmy3 guys maybe the water content is found on the pudding package.

I see it says add water, how much? I have been toying with this recipe and not sure about the water content.

I knew I would reconize the recipe as soon as I saw it and this is it! The only difference is we used a devils food chocolate cake mix instead of a standard chocolate cake. I use to cook in a small town family owned restaurant and this cake never made it through the lunch crowd. I was searching high and low for the recipe and I knew it was made with a Duncan Hines cake mix. Thanks. This cake always recieved five stars.
