Pudding Poke Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan).
• Make, bake and cool cake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan.
• Poke cake every 1/2 inch with handle of wooden spoon. In medium bowl, beat pudding mix and milk with whisk about 2 minutes. Pour pudding evenly over cake. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen cake. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Prepare cake batter and bake as directed on package for 13x9-inch cake. Immediately poke deep holes in cake at 1-inch intervals, using round handle of wooden spoon.
• Combine dry pudding mixes and sugar in medium saucepan. Gradually stir in milk until blended. Add butter. Bring to full rolling boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Pour over cake.
• Refrigerate 2 hours.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions for one 9x13 inch cake. Remove cake from oven. Poke holes at once down through cake to pan with the round handle of a wooden spoon. Holes should be at 1 inch intervals.
• Combine the pudding mix with the confectioners' sugar and gradually stir in the milk. Beat with an electric mixer at low speed for not more than 1 minute. Do not over beat. Quickly, before pudding thickens, pour about 1/2 of the thin pudding evenly over the warm cake and into the holes. (This will make the stripes in the cake.) Allow the remaining pudding to thicken slightly then spoon over the top, and spread to frost the top of the cake. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Whisk cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs together in a bowl until smooth; pour into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 23 to 28 minutes.
• Whisk cold milk and pudding mix together in a bowl until pudding is soft and thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Poke holes into the cake using the handle of a clean wooden spoon. Pour pudding over cake, spreading evenly. Spread whipped topping over pudding layer and sprinkle vanilla wafers over whipped topping.
