Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients.

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

3. 3

   Beat cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer at low speed until moistened, about 30 seconds. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean, 21 to 25 minutes.

6. 6

   Poke holes immediately into warm cake with the round handle of a wooden spoon. Holes should be at 1 inch intervals and extend down to the bottom of the baking dish.

7. 7

   Combine pudding mix with confectioners' sugar in a separate large bowl and gradually stir in milk. Beat with an electric mixer at low speed for 1 minute; do not overbeat.

8. 8

   Pour 1/2 of the pudding mixture immediately over warm cake and into holes.

9. 9

   Let remaining pudding thicken slightly at room temperature, then spoon over the top and spread to cover. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
