• Repeat the swirling process only doing the two top layers and not going to the bottom of the pan.
• Bake at 350º for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.

• Check with knife every ten minutes after that, putting cake back into the oven until the knife comes out clean.
• Allow cake to cool completely before adding icing.
• Remove cake to cake platter.

• Chill frosting in refrigerator about 30-60 minutes before using.
• Cut off one-half inch diagonal corner at the bottom of the bag.
• Frost cake by squeezing out the frosting in thick, half-to-one-inch ribbons on top of the cake.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Grease 2 9-inch round cake pans.
• Dust with flour and tap out the excess; set pans aside.
• Place the cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, water, oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl.
• Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute.
• Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• On medium low speed, continue to blend for 2-3 minutes more.
• The batter will be very thick and should look well combined.
• Pour batter into prepared pans and smooth it out.
• Bake for 27-32 minutes (since I switched pans, I started checking the cakes at 25 minutes-- it was like gooey chocolate pudding-- then 3 minutes later it was perfect.
• Another couple of minutes and I think it would have been dry, so keep an eye on your cakes.
• Allow to cool in the pans on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
• Now is the time to start preparing your frosting.
• Run a knife along the edges on the cakes pans and carefully remove cake by inverting it; allow to cool for 20 minutes more on the wire rack right side up.
• When the cake layers are completely cool, cut layers in half (save a domed layer for the top-- it makes your cakes look homemade) and frost.
