Ingredients:

• 1 box of your favorite cake mix
• 3 cups water
• 1/3 cup Jell-O pudding mix (any flavor you like)
• 1 1/3 cups powdered sugar
• 2 cups milk
• 1 stick of butter

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cake:

   • Follow the instructions on the cake mix box to prepare the batter.
   • Use a 9×13-inch baking pan for baking.

2. Poke Holes:

   • Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes in the cake, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Set the cake aside.

3. Prepare the Frosting:

   • In a medium saucepan, combine the powdered sugar and Jell-O pudding mix. Gently whisk in the milk and add the butter.
   • Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it comes to a full boil.

4. Pour Over Cake:

   • Once the frosting mixture has reached a boil, pour it evenly and slowly over the entire cake, allowing it to seep into the holes. The frosting will also level off, coating the cake beautifully.

5. Chill:

   • Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the frosting to set.

6. Serve:

   • Serve the cake topped with whipped cream or Cool Whip for an extra indulgent touch.

7. Storage:

   • Store any leftovers in the fridge to keep them fresh for later enjoyment.
