Cake and Pudding Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix For the base cake
  • 2 3/4 oz boxes vanilla pudding Prepared according to package instructions

Frosting

  • 1 16 oz tub chocolate frosting Warmed for easy spreading

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Prepare the yellow cake mix according to the package instructions for a 9x13 pan.
  • Allow the cake to fully cool once it has finished baking.
  • Use a straw or the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes throughout the cake.
  • Prepare the 2 boxes of vanilla pudding according to package instructions.
  • Spoon the pudding over the top of the cake, gently pressing down so the pudding gets into all the nooks.
  • Cover and refrigerate the cake for 30 minutes or overnight to allow the pudding to soak into the cake holes.

Frosting and Setting

  • Warm the chocolate frosting for 30-60 seconds in the microwave until smooth and easily spreadable.
  • Pour the chocolate frosting over the top of the pudding and use a spatula or frosting knife to spread evenly.
  • Refrigerate the cake for at least another 30 minutes for the chocolate layer to set or until ready to serve.

Serving

  • Slice in squares to serve and enjoy.

Notes

Serve chilled for the best taste. Consider adding whipped cream or fresh fruit for an extra layer of flavor. Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within a few days.
