Easter Peeps Poke Cake
Ingredients
- 1 - 15.25 ounce box white cake mix + ingredients listed back of the box

- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 8 ounces whipped topping

Instructions
- Cake:
- Prepare the white cake mix and bake according to package directions. Remove from oven and cool.
- Once the cake has cooled use the thin end of a wooden spoon to poke holes throughout the cake.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together one package of the cheesecake pudding mix with 2 cups of milk. Whisk in 6-7 drops of pink food coloring, adding more if necessary, to get your desired shade of pink.
- Quickly pour the pudding mixture into the holes you poked in your cake, and smooth out over the top of the cake.
- Move the cake to the refrigerator to chill for 2-4 hours, so the pudding can set.
- Frosting:
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together one package of cheesecake pudding, ¾ cup of milk and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Fold in cool whip, stirring until everything is well combined.
- Add 4-5 drops of green food coloring, and stir until combined and there are no more white streaks. Add more food coloring, if needed, to get to your desired shade of green.
