I made this cake with my son, Garrett, last week. He loved poking the holes in the cake. I loved the combination of pudding and chocolate frosting! This is a very easy cake and a nice upgrade to your basic box mix cake, without adding a lot of difficulty or time.
Ingredients:
1 yellow cake mix
ingredients to make cake as directed
2 boxes banana pudding (3.4 oz)*
4 cups milk
1 container chocolate frosting
Directions:
Make the cake following the directions on the box. This should consist of adding the correct amounts of water, eggs, and oil. Bake as directed on the box. While it's still warm poke holes all over the cake, about one inch apart, using the handle end of a wooden spoon or similar item. Make pudding using the four cups of milk and pour over the cake. Press pudding down into the holes as best as you can. Ours didn't really go down too far into the cake, but that was okay too. I kind of liked just having the pudding sitting on top. You still get the same flavor, but not a mushy cake. It's makes it less of a "poke" cake though. Put cake in the fridge and cool completely (about 2 hours) before covering with the tub of chocolate frosting.
This is a cake that needs to be refrigerated.
* The original recipe called for vanilla pudding, but I had, and prefer, banana pudding so we used that instead.
