Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 9x13-inch pan very well with cooking spray; set aside.
- To a large mixing bowl, add the red velvet cake mix, the other ingredients called for on the box (likely eggs, oil, water), and mix as directed. Tip - If you want a really intense red, red, red velvet cake, add a few drops of red food coloring to the cake mix batter.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Start checking at 20 minutes for doneness.
- Allow cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
- While the cake is cooling, to a large bowl, add the https://amzn.to/3D2KxX9, milk, and beat with a handheld electric mixer until combined and thickened.
- Use the blunt end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake, spaced about ¼-inch apart and about two-thirds of the way don't; don't poke all the way down to the bottom. *** (See Notes)
- Evenly pour the pudding over the top of the cake, smoothing it lightly with a spatula to help encourage it to settle into the holes. Allow it to rest and settle in for 5 to 10 minutes. Note that there will still be a layer of pudding on top of the cake but you want some to settle into the holes.
- While it rests, transfer whipped topping into a mixing bowl, add green food coloring, and lightly fold to combine. Add food coloring as necessary for your desired shade of green.
- Evenly spread this over the top of the cake.
- Evenly sprinkle the sprinkles as desired.
- Using a sharp and quality vegetable peeler and a higher fat-content white chocolate candy bar (so the curls from and don't just break), start on the long side of the candy bar and pull down on the candy bar in one smooth long motion to get the best chocolate curls.
- Evenly sprinkle them over the cake before serving. Cake will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- ***If you don’t have a wooden spoon, use another similar object taking care that it’s big enough to create sufficiently-sized holes that the pudding can seep down in. If the holes are too small, the pudding can’t sink in.
- Regardless, there will still be a layer of pudding on top of the cake. However, you want at least some to sink into the holes you created.
