Boston Cream Dessert (Printable Version)

Luscious Boston Cream Dessert with soft yellow cake, creamy pudding, and chocolate topping.

# Ingredients:

→ Chocolate Layer

01 - 16 oz container of chocolate frosting

→ Vanilla Layer

02 - Two 3.4 oz packs of instant vanilla or French vanilla pudding
03 - 4 cups of regular milk

→ Base Layer

04 - One 15.25 oz box of yellow cake mix
05 - Eggs, water, and oil (as directed on the cake mix package)

# Steps:

01 - Follow the instructions on the cake mix box to get it ready. Bake it in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
02 - Before the cake cools down, poke holes all over it using a wooden spoon handle or something similar. The spacing between the holes should be about an inch. Make sure they’re wide and deep enough for the pudding to go through.
03 - In a bowl, combine the milk and pudding mix. Stir for about a minute until it looks smooth, with no lumps.
04 - Carefully pour the pudding across the cake's surface, filling up the holes. Use a spoon to spread the pudding and push it into the holes gently.
05 - Pop the cake into the fridge for 2 hours so the pudding firms up and the cake cools completely.
06 - Take off the lid and any foil from the frosting container. Warm it up in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Stir to make it smooth, but don't get it too hot.
07 - Spread the warmed frosting over the pudding layer. Start in the middle and gently work your way to the edges, making it as even as possible.
08 - Let the cake rest at room temp for a few minutes. Then, refrigerate again so it sets completely before slicing and serving.
