Print Recipe

A playful, crowd-pleasing dessert combining tender cake, creamy pudding, and colorful decorations, perfect for Easter celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (18.25 oz) white or yellow cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping
  • Pastel-colored jelly beans or candy-coated chocolates
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • Optional: Candy eyes, licorice strips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Mix the cake batter in a large bowl: combine the cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes.
  5. Poke holes across the warm cake with the handle of a wooden spoon.
  6. Whisk the pudding mix with cold milk until thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. Pour the pudding over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
  8. Refrigerate the cake for 1 hour to set the pudding.
  9. Spread the whipped topping over the chilled cake.
  10. Decorate with jelly beans, coconut for bunny ears, and optional decorations.
  11. Chill for another 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Chill for the full hour before adding whipped topping to prevent it from sliding. For neat slices, run a knife under hot water before cutting.
