Boston Cream Poke Cake


Ingredients
1 Box Yellow Cake Mix
Ingredients needed to make cake; eggs, oil, water
2 (3-4 oz) boxes instant vanilla pudding
4 cups milk
1 tub chocolate frosting
Directions
Make cake according to directions and bake in a well greased 9x13 pan.
When cake is finished, while still warm, poke holes all over the cake (about 1 inch) intervals using a wooden spoon handle or other similar size object.  You want the holes to be fairly big so that the pudding has plenty of room to get down in there!  Be sure to poke right down to the bottom of the cake.
In medium bowl, add milk to pudding mix and continue to whisk until most of the lumps are removed.
Pour pudding on top of warm cake.
Put cake in fridge and let cool completely before adding the frosting (about 2 hours).
Remove the lid and foil covering the tub of chocolate frosting.  Pop it in the microwave for about 10 – 15 seconds.  Stir with a spoon.  It should still be thick and pourable – not bubbly.
Pour chocolate frosting on top of pudding and spread over cake.  Allow to cool on the counter for a few minutes, then put into the fridge to fully cool and set up.  Keep refrigerated. 
I think it tastes better after it has sat in the fridge overnight!
