Oreo Puddin' Poke Cake

If you enjoyed the Jell-o Poke Cake then you are really going to enjoy this recipe. I have found that this cake is a hit with everyone. Especially the menfolk and the little ones.
 What isn't to love? 

Pudding and cake all together in harmony.

World peace through cake...one can dream.

This is an absolutely perfect weeknight dessert for the family and it is just so ridiculously easy to make that you can easily remember all the recipe ingredients when you go to the grocery store to pick up what you need.

Don't you hate when you do that? You get to the store, realize you forgot the recipe, and can only remember half the things that were in it? Drives me nuts because it's not like that is the only thing I gotta get when I go to the store. 
I'm usually a pretty good list-maker...usually.

I'm sure most of you who have smartphones don't encounter that problem but I'm still living in the dark ages here so, ya know, it's an issue for me.

Ingredients:
1 Box Chocolate Cake Mix
Ingredients needed to make cake (usually eggs, oil and water)
2 (4 oz.)packages of Instant Oreo pudding
4 cups milk (2% or higher)
Crushed Oreo Cookies (optional)

Directions
Make cake mix according to directions and bake in a well-greased 9x13 pan (I use the nonstick spray that has flour in it).

Just before cake is done, start making pudding. In a medium bowl, add milk to pudding mixture and continue to whisk until most of the lumps are removed. Let pudding mixture sit for about 2 minutes. You want it to thicken slightly so it isn't overly runny but not fully thickened into pudding.

When cake is finished, while still warm, poke holes all over cake (about 1-inch) intervals using a wooden spoon handle or a straw.

Pour pudding mixture over warm cake.

(Um, not easy to take a picture while pouring pudding...)

Allow the cake to cool for several minutes on the counter then put into the fridge to set up. About an hour.

Once it is set, top with crushed Oreo cookies

Cook’s Note: This is great with so many different combinations; yellow or white cake mix with chocolate pudding is a good one. The Oreo pudding combination is our favorite.


Enjoy!

I made this with chocolate pudding once but I love the contrast with the white Oreo pudding.
