Description

This delightful Easter Bunny Poke Cake combines a moist white cake base with creamy vanilla pudding filling and a fluffy whipped topping, making it a festive and easy-to-make dessert perfect for spring celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 1 box white cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)

Filling

  • 1 package (3 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1¾ cups milk

Topping

  • 1 cup whipped topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cake: Follow the instructions on the white cake mix box to prepare the batter. Pour the batter into a 9×13-inch baking dish and bake according to the package directions until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Make holes in the cake: Allow the cake to cool slightly so it’s warm but not hot. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly all over the surface of the cake, making sure to go deep enough to reach the bottom but without breaking the cake apart.
  3. Mix the pudding: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and 1¾ cups of milk until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken.
  4. Fill the cake holes: Pour the pudding mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes and infuse the cake with creamy flavor and moisture.
  5. Chill to set: Refrigerate the cake for about 2 hours to let the pudding set inside the cake completely, ensuring a rich, moist texture.
  6. Add whipped topping: After chilling, spread 1 cup of whipped topping evenly over the surface of the cake, creating a fluffy and light layer reminiscent of a bunny’s tail.
  7. Serve: Slice and serve this festive Easter treat to guests, enjoying the creamy, moist, and fluffy layers together.

Notes

  • You can use homemade whipped cream instead of store-bought whipped topping for a fresher taste.
  • To add an Easter twist, decorate the top with pastel-colored sprinkles, shredded coconut dyed with food coloring, or edible bunny decorations.
  • Ensure the cake is only slightly warm before poking holes to prevent it from breaking apart.
  • This cake is best served chilled but can be left at room temperature for up to 1 hour before serving.
