I did not enjoy this cake. It tasted just okay and I would not serve it to guests. There are too many other wonderful recipes on this site.

This was quite a tasty cake and a hit when we took it to a dinner party! I was a little nervous about pouring the pudding over the warm cake (and then refrigerating it), but I didn't need to worry! I used a yellow cake, 1 package of vanilla pudding, and frosted with chocolate frosting (melted/softened in the microwave, so it pours smoothly out of the can). It reminded us of Boston Creme Pie. I didn't use a wooden spoon handle because I thought the holes would be too big, but next time I will so the pudding is nice and concentrated!

My mom made this when I was a kid so I've been looking for the recipe. This is so easy and so yummy. A huge hit with everyone at Bible study.

SHHHH!!! Don't tell my husband how easy this cake is to make! He thinks I slaved away making a fancy cake for him from scratch. I made it with a boxed butter cake mix and banana pudding for filling the holes and a chocolate pudding for the "frosting." Very much like banana Boston Cream pie. Yummer-ific!

This is an old pudding recipe that I have loved for years. I use the white cake mix and my family just LOVES it!

Everyone loves this cake. Although I usually leave out the sugar - I just use chocolate pudding down the holes and "frost" the cake with a chocolate pudding/cool whip combo.

I used sugar free pudding, no fat milk and about half of the powdered sugar. I also topped it off with Heath Bar Bites. Had 8 over for luncheon and everyoe love it. I will make this again and again. Very easy and DELICIOUS!!

This was ok. I didn't think the "frosting" thickened up enough.

I like this cake - it's easier than frosting and I think it's a little healthier; I don't get that sugar-rush sick feeling that I usally get from eating frosted cake. I've made this recipe a few times with white cake and pistachio pudding (I call it "Shrek Cake"), and I once forgot to add the confectioner's sugar to the pudding, and the cake was still great. Thanks for the recipe, Karin, we love it!

This is okay, not exactly a genious idea but it's easy and fun and does taste good. It's good for family but like others said it's not really guest appropriate. Great for kids though and fun to play with different combos.

I loved it. It was refreshing. I used a chocolate cake mix and banana pudding and on top I mixed white chocolate pudding with 8oz whip cream, and it was yummy, but I used only 1/2 cup powder sugar and for the cake mix I used apple sauce instead the oil, the cake was moist. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

It doesn't get much easier than this! Although I do prefer the non-instant type pudding, which works just as well, but takes a little more time. There are many combo possibilities with this recipe - banana cake w/banana cream pudding, chocolate/chocolate, white cake/coconut pudding, etc. Top w/whipped cream and you've got a super dessert!

I made this using chocolate cake & wanilla pudding. The only change I made was to add a splash of almond extract to the pudding mixture. My husband loved it! Quick and easy.
