Ingredients


Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Remove pound cake from wrapper; place cake on serving plate. Poke 25 to 30 holes down through top of cake with round handle of wooden spoon. (Holes should be at 1-inch intervals.)

  2. Step 2

    Pour milk into medium bowl. Add dry pudding mix. Beat with wire whisk 30 seconds. Immediately pour about 1/4 of the thin pudding evenly over cake and into holes to make stripes. Tap plate on counter to settle pudding in holes. Pour 1/3 of the remaining pudding over holes. Tap cake again. Let remaining pudding stand several minutes until slightly thickened. Use to frost top and sides of cake.

  3. Step 3

    Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until ready to serve. Store leftover cake in refrigerator.
