Ingredients
1 box (15.25 ounces) chocolate cake mix
Ingredients listed on the cake mix box (water, oil, eggs)
1 box (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
1 tub (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 to 2 packages of Marshmallow Peeps
2 to 3 tablespoons of colorful sprinkles
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F, prepare a 9×13-inch pan, and bake the chocolate cake mix according to package directions.
2. Let the cake cool for 15-20 minutes, then use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes about one inch apart all over the top.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk for two minutes until it begins to thicken.
4. Immediately pour the pudding over the warm cake, spreading it evenly to fill the holes.
5. Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least two hours, or until the pudding is fully set.
6. Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake.
7. Arrange Marshmallow Peeps on top and finish with colorful sprinkles before serving.
Notes
This cake can be made ahead. Prepare the cake and pudding layers and chill overnight. Add whipped topping and decorations just before serving for best results. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
