Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 24
• 1 (18 ounce) package yellow cake mix
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3 eggs
• 2 (3 1/2 ounce) packages chocolate instant pudding
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 4 cups cold milk

Recipe

• 1 prepare and bake cake as package directs in a 9x13 pan. (note: different cake mixes may require different ingredients than mine.) remove from oven.
• 2 poke holes at once through the cake with a round handle of a wooden spoon. holes should be in 1" intervals.
• 3 after the holes are made, combine the sugar and pudding mix in a large bowl. gradully stir in the milk. beat at low speed for 1 minute.
• 4 before the pudding thickens, pour about half evenly over the warm cake and into the holes.
• 5 allow the remaining pudding to thicken slightly; then spoon over the top, swirling to frost the cake. chill at least 1 hour. store in refrigerator.
• 6 tip: you can use different flavors of pudding and cake for different flavors. try adding 1/2 c peanut butter to the chocolate pudding for a peanut butter poke cake.
