Easter Poke Cake: A Colorful and Festive Dessert

 This Easter Poke Cake is a colorful and festive dessert that’s perfect for Easter gatherings! It’s easy to make, packed with flavor, and fun to decorate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box of white cake mix (and any ingredients it requires, such as eggs, oil, and water)
  • Gel food coloring (a variety of pastel colors)
  • 2 boxes of instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 4 cups of milk
  • 1 container of Cool Whip, thawed

 

  • Easter-themed sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare and Bake the Cake: Prepare the white cake mix according to the package instructions. Divide the batter evenly into separate bowls and tint each with a different pastel food coloring. Gently swirl the colored batters into the prepared cake pan to create a marbled effect. Bake the cake as instructed on the box.
  • Poke the Cake: Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes, then use the end of a wooden spoon or a fork to poke holes all over the cake.
  • Make the Pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix with the milk until smooth and slightly thickened. Pour the pudding over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Chill: Place the cake in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least two hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Frost and Decorate: Once chilled, spread the Cool Whip over the top of the cake. Decorate with sprinkles, if desired.

 

  • Serve: Keep the cake refrigerated until ready to serve. Slice and enjoy!
