  • 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk

Method
 

Prepare the Cake
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the Funfetti cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Add Filling
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until thickened.
  2. Once the cake is cooled, use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the top of the cake.
  3. Pour the pudding mixture over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes.
Finish the Cake
  1. Spread the whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer.
  2. Sprinkle the top with colorful sprinkles.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
