  • 4 cups 960 ml cold milk
  • 1 tub 8 oz whipped topping, thawed

  1. Bake cake in a 9x13-inch pan according to package directions. Allow to cool slightly.
  2. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake, about 1 inch apart.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together pudding mixes with cold milk until smooth. If desired, divide pudding into bowls and tint with pastel food coloring.
