- 3 large eggs (cooktopcove.com)
Optional: Caramel drizzle or fruit topping. (cooktopcove.com)
Instructions

🍓 Variation: “Easter Poke Cake” from Cooktop Cove
If you want something a bit more festive and fun, try this variation from Cooktop Cove’s “My hubby will only eat this” recipe. (cooktopcove.com)
What you need
- 1 box white cake mix (plus the required eggs, oil, water) (cooktopcove.com)
- Gel food coloring (for pastel/marble effect) — optional (cooktopcove.com)
- 2 boxes instant vanilla pudding mix + 4 cups milk (to prepare pudding) (cooktopcove.com)
- 1 container Cool Whip (or whipped topping), thawed (cooktopcove.com)
- Sprinkles or fruit / decorations (optional) (cooktopcove.com)
Method
- Prepare the white cake mix per package instructions, divide batter into bowls if using food coloring, swirl gently (for marble/pastel effect), and bake. (cooktopcove.com)
- Once baked & slightly cooled, poke holes all over the cake using the end of a wooden spoon (about 1 inch apart). (cooktopcove.com)
- Prepare pudding per instructions (mix pudding mix with milk), then pour it over the cake so it seeps into the holes. (cooktopcove.com)
- Chill the cake in fridge for at least 2 hours so pudding sets. (cooktopcove.com)
- Once chilled, spread the Cool Whip over the top, decorate with sprinkles or fruit, and keep refrigerated until serving. (cooktopcove.com)
This version makes a moist, creamy and festive dessert — nice for parties or holidays.
