Yummy cake to make when you want something different. The cake really does look like a hornet's nest when it is done.

Hornet's Nest Cake

1 box yellow cake mix
1 small box vanilla pudding mix (regular, not instant)
2 cups milk
6 ounces butterscotch chips
1 cup nuts, chopped

Cook pudding as directed on package and let cool. Mix pudding and dry cake mix well. (You can beat for 2 minutes for a lighter cake, but it is not necessary. The cake comes out moist and dense and very good this way).

Preheat oven to 350.

Spread batter in a 9x13x2-inch pan. Sprinkle with butterscotch morsels and nuts. Bake for 25 minutes in a preheated 350 oven.

I make mine with chocolate cake mix, chocolate pudding, semi-sweet chocolate morsels, & pecans. A hit every time. My most requested dessert cake!

Never tried it. I think butterscotch are used because of the 'honey' and coloring of the hornet's nest.
