Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 box white cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
Pudding Filling
- 1 package (3 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1¾ cups milk
Topping
- 1 cup whipped topping
Instructions
- Prepare Cake: Prepare the white cake mix according to the package instructions. Pour the batter into a 9×13-inch baking dish and bake as directed until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Make Poke Holes: Let the cake cool slightly. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes evenly throughout the entire cake to allow the pudding to soak in.
- Mix Pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and 1¾ cups of milk until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Pour Pudding Over Cake: Evenly pour the prepared pudding mixture over the cake, making sure it fills all the holes so the creaminess penetrates throughout the cake.
- Chill Cake: Place the cake in the refrigerator and let it chill for about 2 hours to allow the pudding to fully set inside the cake.
- Add Whipped Topping: Once chilled, spread 1 cup of whipped topping evenly over the surface of the cake for a fluffy, creamy finish that resembles a bunny’s tail.
- Serve: Cut into 12 servings and serve immediately. Enjoy your festive Easter Bunny Poke Cake!
Notes
- You can use homemade whipped cream instead of store-bought whipped topping for a fresher taste.
- Make sure the cake is slightly cooled before poking holes to avoid breaking the cake apart.
- For added decoration, consider using pastel-colored sprinkles or coconut flakes to mimic bunny fur.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator covered tightly to maintain moisture and freshness.
- This cake can be made a day ahead for convenience and better flavor melding.
