try adding caramel and judge instead top with real whip cream. so yummy .

This was my first attempt at a recioe from this site- really, really good. Instead of using chocolate puding, I used pistachio flavored pudding, and chopped up some pistachios and sprinkled them across the top. The pale green from the pudding was so pretty- definitely recommend this.

I made this cake and here all of my pointers for the next person to make this cake for the first time. #1 take the cake out of the oven 10 min early. #2 poke the cake all the way to the bottom regardless of w/e you've read on other reviews. #3 use 2 boxes of pudding!!!! #4 after the cake and pudding has been in the refrigerator for about an hour, add two tubs of cool whip on top. I made this cake exactly as directed and the cake was dry from having to be in the refrigerator, so take it out of the oven extra early because you'll need that extra moisture to help with the dryness. Also, I simply poked the cake as indicated and it makes the bottom half of the cake seem even that much more dry, dont be afraid to poke all the way to the bottom, pudding becomes firm in the refrigerator, it wont be all soggy or anything when you cut it. I say use 2 boxes because one was NOT enough. Also, add cool whip to the top of the cake because the cake was on the plain side and needed a little something extra and I used one tub and one tub was not enough.

I've made this cake for a long time. You can add fruit (I usually do the frozen raspberries- thawed)to the bottom of your holes and top with the whipped frosting. I have always done chocolate, but there are endless possibilities out there. I can never get it to look super pretty, but I never have any complaints when I make it.
