Pour the batter into two greased 9-inch round cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cake
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Cook the Mixture
Over medium heat, cook the mixture while stirring constantly until it thickens and starts to boil (about 5-7 minutes).
Add Flavorings
Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
Chill the Pudding
Pour the pudding into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
