Vanilla Pudding Cake
Ingredients
Cake
- 1 box (15.25 oz) vanilla cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
Pudding layer
- 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 cups cold milk
Topping
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup crushed vanilla wafers
Instructions
1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9 × 13-inch glass baking dish.
2. Mix the cake mix, eggs, oil, and water until smooth. Pour into the dish and bake for 28–33 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
3. Whisk the pudding mixes with the cold milk for 2 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes, then spread over the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. Beat the cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread over the pudding, reserving a little for decorative swirls if desired.
5. Sprinkle with crushed vanilla wafers. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Servings: 12
Tips
- Make sure the cake is fully cool before adding the pudding.
- Add the wafer crumbs shortly before serving to keep them crunchy.
