Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box Betty Crocker French Vanilla Cake Mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 (3.4 oz) box Jello Instant Vanilla or French Vanilla Pudding
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 carton Cool Whip
  • 1 box McCormick Neon Colors Food Coloring (pink, purple, and green)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  1. In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil until smooth.

Step 2: Divide & Color

  1. Separate the batter into three bowls and color each with pink, purple, and green food coloring.

Step 3: Marble the Cake

  1. Transfer each colored batter into separate Ziploc bags, snip the ends, and squeeze them into a greased 9×13 pan, rotating colors for a marbled effect.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

  1. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 5: Poke & Fill

  1. Using the back of a wooden spoon, poke holes in the cake about every 1½ inches.

Step 6: Mix the Pudding

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk and instant pudding mix for about 5 minutes until it begins to set.

Step 7: Soak the Cake

  1. Pour the pudding mixture over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes.

Step 8: Top it Off

  1. Spread Cool Whip evenly over the cake and decorate with Easter sprinkles (optional).

Step 9: Chill & Serve

  1. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors meld.

Notes

  • For a more festive touch, use pastel-colored pudding.
  • Substitute homemade whipped cream for Cool Whip if preferred.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
