If you’re a fan of poke cakes, this one is sure to become your favorite! With its rich eggnog flavor and creamy pudding filling, it’s perfect for the holiday season or any time you want a dessert that stands out.
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 box white cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup eggnog
For the Filling:
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1/2 cup brandy (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups eggnog
- 3 cups whipped topping
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and eggnog. Beat the mixture until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
2. Make the Filling:
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, brandy (if using), and eggnog until the mixture thickens.
3. Fill the Cake:
Once the cake has cooled, poke holes throughout the cake. Pour the pudding mixture evenly over the top, allowing it to seep into the holes.
4. Top the Cake:
Spread the whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer. Finish by sprinkling cinnamon and nutmeg over the top.
5. Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled. Serve and enjoy this indulgent, festive treat!
