Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix (about 15.25 ounces)
  • 1 package instant pudding mix (vanilla or your choice, about 3.4 ounces)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup milk, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Topping

  • 1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping, thawed (such as Cool Whip) or homemade stabilized whipped cream

Optional Add-Ins

  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Shredded coconut
  • Nuts (walnuts, pecans)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather all the ingredients. Measure out the cake mix, instant pudding mix, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and whipped topping to streamline the baking process.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, instant pudding mix, eggs, milk, and vegetable oil. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until the batter is smooth and well combined. Expect it to be slightly thicker than typical cake batter due to the pudding mix.
  3. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13 inch baking pan. Bake according to the cake mix package instructions, usually for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool and Top with Whipped Topping: Let the cake cool completely in the pan to retain moisture. Once cooled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake surface to add the signature light and fluffy texture.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least one hour to allow the whipped topping to set and flavors to meld. Slice, garnish as desired, and enjoy this creamy, dreamy dessert.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and milk to ensure a smooth, consistent batter.
  • Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and fluffy rather than dense.
  • Chilling before serving helps the topping firm up and enhances flavor melding.
  • Choose high-quality whipped topping for a silkier texture.
  • This cake tastes even better the next day, making it ideal for make-ahead.
