Equipment

Ingredients

1 box white cake mix *15.25 ounce box plus ingredients listed on box
Red/Blue food coloring
3.4 ounces cheesecake flavored instant pudding
2 cups milk
8 ounce whipped topping
festive sprinkles and/or fresh fruit

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix with the water, eggs, and oil called for on box.
Once prepared, separate cake batter into two medium bowls.
Add red food coloring to one bowl and blue food coloring to the other bowl. Stir and continue adding more drops until desired color is reached.
Place spoonfuls of the batter in the cake pan alternating between colors until all has been used up.
Bake cake in oven for about 25 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted in center.
Set cake aside to fully cool.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk until smooth.
Poke holes in cake using the handle of a wooden spoon or large straw. Only go about ¾ down into cake and cover entire cake with holes.
Place pudding mixture into a piping bag and fill each hole. If preferred, you can also use a spoon to add mixture to the holes in cake.
Cover cake pan with plastic wrap and store in fridge for about 4 hours.
Just before serving, spread whipped topping evenly on top and add sprinkles or fresh fruit. Serve and enjoy!
