Anxious to bake the Strawberry Poke Cake. Asks for “a large box of cheesecake pudding mix”
What size box(in grams or ounces) does it mean?Can I use Vanilla Pudding as a replacement if I can`t find the cheesecake mix? Thanks for the info
I used a 3.4 ounce box of cheesecake pudding. You could certainly use vanilla instead.
