Boston Cream Pie Poke Cake
Ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mix
Ingredients called for on cake mix (eggs, oil and water)
2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant Vanilla or French Vanilla pudding
4 cups milk
1 container chocolate frosting (or your favorite homemade chocolate frosting)
Directions:
Make cake mix according to directions and bake in a well-greased 9×13 pan.
When cake is finished baking and is still warm, poke holes all over cake using a wooden spoon handle or other similar size object (you want those holes fairly big so the pudding has room to get in there and you need to poke straight through to the bottom of the cake).
In a medium bowl, add milk to pudding mixture and continue to whisk until most of the lumps are removed. Pour pudding on top of warm cake, making sure to pour straight into the holes in the cake.
Take a spoon and spread it evenly across the top of the cake (very gently press down pudding to ensure that pudding goes into the holes and spread it all the way to the sides).
Put cake in fridge and allow to cool completely before adding the frosting (about 2 hours).
Remove the lid and foil covering from the tub of chocolate frosting and microwave for about 10-15 seconds. Stir frosting with a spoon- it should still be thick, but pourable. Pour chocolate frosting on top of pudding.
Spread frosting to evenly cover cake. Start in the middle and gently spread to the sides. Allow to cool on the counter for a few minutes, then put into the fridge to fully cool and set up.

Sounds so wonderful, have to try it some day! Have a wonderful weekend
Yum! My grandmother always make Boston Cream Cake with two round cake layers and the vanilla pudding in the middle. This will taste the same but be a lot easier!
Oh, I looooove this. My dad will flip for it.
Hello Sisters! this is the desert i made for our early Xmas supper! it was very easy today and was very tasty and very sweet. my only thing about this recipe, if i make again, i wouldnt use all the pudding. i made the 2 pkgs that was asked for the recipe and followed all the instruction, after puddings was spread all over and pushed into the wholes.. with the pudding left on top of cake. it was hard to spread icing without mixing pudding in it( icing was warmed a bit, not too warm though..) so anyway to make long story short, in the future, i ll still make 2 pkgs of the instant pudding but will only use the 2/3 of it.. thanks for posting recipes that easy to do, good to eat and budget friendly!
Thanks for your helpful suggestions! We love comments to improve our recipes! Have a Merry Christmas. -The Six Sisters
