Top 4 Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
1. Inadequate Poking
Mistake: Not poking holes deeply enough. Solution: Ensure the holes reach the bottom of the cake to allow sufficient space for the pudding.
2. Rushing the Chilling Process
Mistake: Not giving the cake ample time to chill. Solution: Patience is key; allow at least 2 hours for the cake to set properly in the fridge.
3. Overmixing Pudding
Mistake: Vigorously stirring the pudding, leading to lumps. Solution: Gently whisk the pudding mix and milk until smooth to avoid lumps.
4. Neglecting Whipped Topping
Mistake: Skipping the whipped topping step. Solution: The whipped topping adds a light and airy finish; don’t skip this delightful layer.
