I used a white cake mix. And add cool whip for the topping. It was a hit. My family absolutely loved it.

This cake is actually very good, very easy to make, and never lasts very long at our house. Another way we serve it is to cut a slice, and warm it up a bit in the microwave to make the cake warm, and the pudding gooey, then add either coolwhip or ice cream on top.. add any other toppings as desired (chopped nuts, maraschino cherries, etc.) Gives a whole new aspect to the dessert! Oh, and for those who say there wasn't much pudding in the cake, yes, wiggle your wooden spoon a tad, and before spreading the pudding on top, use a spoon and 'pour' the pudding in the holes, letting it run off the spoon into the holes, then spread the rest over the top and it will be smooth because the holes are full to the top. Bon Appetit!

In any cake mix, I always substitute milk for water and real butter (unsalted) for the oil. Makes a much better cake. I also add 1 Tablespoon merengue powder. Although not a fan of instant pudding, I tried this and it came out perfect. I topped it with real whipped cream with two drops of peppermint flavoring.
