Boston Cream Poke Cake

Instructions

  • Prepare yellow cake mix according to the package instructions for a 9×13 pan.
  • Allow the cake to fully cool once it has finished baking.
  • Use a straw or the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes throughout the cake.
  • Prepare the 2 boxes of vanilla pudding according to package instructions.
  • Spoon the pudding over the top of the cake, gently pressing down so the pudding gets into all the nooks.
  • Cover and refrigerate the cake for 30 minutes, or overnight to allow the pudding to soak into the cake holes.
  • Warm the chocolate frosting for 30-60 seconds in the microwave until smooth and easily spreadable.
  • Pour the chocolate frosting over the top of the pudding and use a spatula or frosting knife to spread evenly.
  • Refrigerate the cake for at least another 30 minutes for the chocolate layer to set, or until ready to serve.
  • Slice in squares to serve and enjoy!
