Pudding Poke Cake
"This is the popular poke cake, but you use pudding instead of jello. The pudding forms a soft icing, too. Really good!"

ingredients

CAKE
- 1 (18 ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 1 1⁄4 cups water
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- 3 eggs
-
PUDDING
- 2 (3 1/2 ounce) packages chocolate instant pudding
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 4 cups cold milk
directions
- Prepare and bake cake as package directs in a 9x13 pan. (NOTE: Different cake mixes may require different ingredients than mine.) Remove from oven.
- Poke holes at once through the cake with a round handle of a wooden spoon. Holes should be in 1" intervals.
- 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.
- Before the pudding thickens, pour about half evenly over the warm cake and into the holes.
- 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.
- 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.

Yummy! I halved the "frosting" because that's all that was in the house. Next time I plan to try it as a bundt cake.

<p>I am a Yankee transplant to the low country. My mom was English, so my cooking style reflects this. My favorite cookbook was McCall's Cookbook which is no longer in print. I've been married to a gourmand for 41 years, so I get lots of practice cooking. We have three daughters that I share recipes with and seven grandchildren -- none old enough to cook yet, but I think we have some budding chefs!</p>
