Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box of chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)
  • 1 cup pumpkin spice pudding mix (instant)
  • 2 cups milk (for the filling)
  • 1 cup whipped cream (for topping)
  • Halloween-themed sprinkles (or candy) for decoration
  • Optional: food coloring for a colorful twist

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven as per the instructions on the cake mix box. Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare the cake mix following box instructions. Pour it into the baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  3. Once the cake has cooled for about 10 minutes, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes approximately 1 inch apart across the cake.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the pumpkin spice pudding mix and 2 cups of milk until it thickens. Pour this mixture over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes.
  5. Cover the cake and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Once chilled, spread the whipped cream on top and decorate with Halloween-themed sprinkles or candy.
  7. Slice up the cake and enjoy this festive dessert with family and friends.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add caramel drizzle, extra whipped cream, or themed toppings for a fun and festive flair. Make the cake a day ahead for even better flavor blending. Use a slow cooker for a set-and-forget version by baking on high for 2 hours.
