Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 box white cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
  • Food coloring (blue, green, pink, and yellow)

For the Pudding Layer:

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant white chocolate pudding
  • 2 cups milk

For the Whipped Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For Garnish:

  • Sprinkles (pastel colors)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cake Batter:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
    • Prepare the white cake mix according to package instructions.
    • Divide the batter into 4 equal portions, and tint each portion with a different food coloring: blue, green, pink, and yellow.
    • Pour the colored batters into the prepared baking dish, and use a toothpick to gently swirl the colors together—be careful not to overmix.

  • Bake the Cake:

    • Bake according to the cake mix instructions (usually 25-30 minutes), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Let the cake cool completely.

  • Make the Pudding Layer:

    • In a bowl, whisk together the instant white chocolate pudding and milk until smooth. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

  • Poke & Fill:

    • Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes evenly across the cooled cake.
    • Pour the pudding over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Smooth the top with a spatula.
    • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the pudding to set.

  • Prepare the Whipped Cream Topping:

    • In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
    • Spread the whipped cream evenly over the pudding layer.

  • Garnish & Serve:

    • Sprinkle pastel-colored sprinkles over the top for a festive touch.
    • Slice and serve this colorful, creamy, and fun Easter Poke Cake at your holiday celebration.

Notes

  • Feel free to mix up the colors for a personalized look, or use different cake flavors for the base!
  • For a fluffier topping, chill the mixing bowl before whipping the cream.
