Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions and bake it in a 9x13-inch pan. Once the cake is done, let it cool for about 10 minutes.
-
Next, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake. Be generous—this is where the magic happens. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake, making sure it fills the holes.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk. Let it set for a few minutes, then pour it over the cake. Spread it evenly so it seeps into the holes.
-
Whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread this over the cake as your final layer. Top with crushed Oreos, and voila—your Cookies and Cream Poke Cake is ready!
