Pudding Cake

Submitted by Dawn Lewis

"This very moist cake was made for every birthday when my husband was growing up. I recently made it for Father's Day and it was a huge hit with my family! The extra bonus is it is so easy to prepare. You can make many different versions by just changing the cake and/or pudding flavors."

The cake tasted delicious! I think next time it would be a good idea to let the cake chill and set with the pudding on it before putting the cool whip on it, mine smeared and the cool whip muixed with the pudding.

I made this 2 days ago and it was devoured by my son and husband within hours! I did make a few changes-I used chocolate cake mix and vanilla pudding. Instead of the whipped topping, I used Nutella Icing-whipping cream with nutella mixed in. Wow-delicious!!!!! Thanks for the recipe. Next time I thing I'll try it with the yellow cake and chocolate pudding.
