Red Velvet Poke Cake

I have mentioned before in this blog that Craig's favorite cake is Red Velvet.  So I am constantly on the lookout for new ways to do red velvet.  This was super easy and very good!  You could probably do this idea with any type of combos that you like!

Red Velvet Poke Cake

What You Need:

*1 box Red Velvet cake mix

*ingredients needed to make cake (eggs, oil & water)

*2 (3.4 oz.) boxes instant Cheesecake-flavored pudding

*4 cups milk

*1 (8 oz.) tub frozen whipped topping, thawed

*10 Oreo cookies, crushed (optional)

 

What You Do:
 

*Prepare cake mix according to package directions for a 9x13 cake.

*Once cake comes out of the oven, allow it to cool for just a couple of minutes.
*Then, with a wooden spoon handle or some other similarly-sized object, begin poking holes in the warm cake.
*You want the holes to be fairly big so that the pudding has plenty of room to get down in there. 

*Be sure to poke right down to the bottom of the cake.

*In a medium bowl, whisk together dry pudding mix with 4 cups of milk.

*Whisk until all the lumps are gone.

*Pour pudding over cake. Taking care to get right into the holes as much as possible.

 *Spread it all out and using the back of the spoon, gently push pudding down into the holes.

*Put the cake into the fridge to set and cool (about 2 hours). 

*Once your cake has completely cooled, spread on whipped topping.

*Spread crushed oreos on top right before you are ready to serve 

Yummy!
