  • Total Time: 2 hours 50 minutes (including chilling)
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 box white cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box: eggs, oil, and water)
  • Food coloring gels in pastel shades (pink, blue, yellow, purple)

For the Pudding Layer:

  • 1 package (3 oz) instant white chocolate or vanilla pudding mix
  • 1¾ cups cold milk

For the Topping:

  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips, melted
  • Pastel sprinkles for decoration
  • Marshmallow bunny Peeps, mini chocolate eggs, and jelly beans (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cake Batter

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Prepare cake batter according to package instructions. Divide batter evenly into four bowls and tint each with food coloring to achieve pastel shades.

2. Create the Swirled Design

Drop spoonfuls of each colored batter into the baking dish, alternating colors. Use a toothpick to gently swirl them together for a marbled effect.

3. Bake the Cake

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes.

4. Poke and Fill with Pudding

Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly across the cake. In a bowl, whisk together pudding mix and cold milk until slightly thickened. Pour over the cake, ensuring the pudding fills the holes evenly.

5. Chill the Cake

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to set and soak into the cake for ultimate moisture.

6. Decorate and Serve

Spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake. Drizzle with melted white chocolate and add pastel sprinkles, Peeps, mini eggs, and jelly beans for an extra festive touch.

Notes

  • Alternate Flavors – Swap vanilla pudding for lemon or cheesecake pudding for a unique twist.
  • Homemade Whipped Topping – Whip 1½ cups cold heavy cream with ¼ cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • Extra Decorations – Try shredded coconut tinted green for a “grass” effect or edible glitter for sparkle.
