BOSTON CREAM POKE CAKE



I'm always thinking of ways to make poke cake, especially fun cakes that can be made with cake mix.
And this is a fun, easy and yummy cake. So well worth making.... and the best part is, you will love it.

1 box y...ellow cake mix (ingredients needed to make cake; eggs, oil and water)
2 (3.4oz) boxes instant Vanilla or French Vanilla pudding
4 cups milk
1 tub Chocolate Frosting

Make cake mix according to directions and bake in a well-greased 9x13 pan.

When cake is finished, while still warm, poke holes all over cake (about 1-inch) intervals using a wooden spoon handle or other similar size object.

In a medium bowl, add milk to pudding mixture and continue to whisk until most of the lumps are removed.
Let pudding mixture sit for about 2 minutes. You want it to thicken just slightly so it isn't overly runny but
not fully thickened into pudding (it should still be pourable).

Pour pudding on top of warm cake.

Take a spoon and spread it out making sure pudding goes into the holes and spread it all the way to the sides.

Put cake in fridge and allow to cool completely before adding the frosting.
When cake is cooled, you can then add frosting.
Remove the lid and foil covering from the tub of chocolate frosting.
Pop it in the microwave on high for about 15-20 seconds.
Stir with a spoon. It should now be pourable but not bubbly hot.
Pour chocolate frosting on top of pudding.

Spread frosting to evenly cover cake. Start in the middle and gently spread to the sides.

Allow to cool on the counter for a few minutes, then put into the fridge to fully cool and set up.
This cake needs to be kept refrigerated. Enjoy!
