But do check the ingredients... some flavors might sneak it in. I know the chocolate fudge one is safe. 
As for the cake mixes, I heard rumors that DH cake mixes now have dairy in them, but I'm not sure. To be totally honest, it's always a dairy derivative - not straight-up milk - and in with all the soluble fiber from the flour, it never bothers me, and I'm SUPER-sensitive to dairy. So I'd say give it a try anyway, but I'm daring like that.  If you'd rather not risk it, read the ingredients on other cake mix brands and see if you can find others that are dairy-free.

I make brownies using applesauce as a substitute for the oil. they are great!! I would suggest using a extra fudgey one.

Are there any vegetarian pudding mixes that would work? I don't eat gelatin, which i believe is in most instant pudding.

Puddings are usually thickened with cornstarch, I believe. At any rate, some flavors of Jello brand instant pudding are listed on PETA's "accidentally vegan" page:

You'll be safe with those. But if you want to find alternatives, I'd suggest the health food store.

I've been using the store-brand organic cake. It does taste a little different (it doesn't have as much sugar, and there's actually less than the DH box), but I love it just the same.
Go for it!

My very thoughtful friend Jen made me a cake using organic cake mix not too long ago, and I agree, it was quite good. It's certainly a nice alternative when you want less sugar and preservatives!

I'm sad that it didn't work out for you. When I tried it, it was amazing!!! I use 1 1/2 TBSP of applesauce and 2 1/2 of water, DON'T spray the cup or bowl with oil either! And also only microwave for about a minute...maybe a minute 15. Let me know if this works for you

I'm dying to try this with a GF cake mix to see if it will work for we gluten free folks.
I understand the GF mixes make very small cakes so I have a feeling I'll have to buy a few of them and make adjustments along the way.
I bounced this off a couple really good Celiac cooks and no one had a clue about this using a GF mix or had ever tried such a thing.
I'll let you know the results as soon as I can. Unfortunately I don't have a dog to give the goofs too, but hey, a little Rice Dream ice cream thrown on top of a goof ought to make it edible, don't you think?

I was going to make this last weekend, and checked the DH box and it said "contains milk ingredients" so I didn't get it. Then I went to Wal-Mart and bought their brand which didn't say it had milk in it. But after I got it home, I noticed that under the "shortening" part - it said it could contain beef fat, or lard - which I'm thinking could be worse than the "dairy derivative" - what do you think??

I just came across a cake mix with beef fat this past weekend and was totally grossed out! That just seems so unnecessary. As for how bad it is for us, it's such a tiny amount it would probably be okay... but I just couldn't get myself to buy the stuff. Honestly, most of us here seem to be okay with the cake mixes that contain 2% or less of milk products, although please try it only if you're stable. Oteherwise they do sell organic cake mixes that are totally dairy-free, as I remember someone mentioned farther up on this thread.
