Description
The ultimate holiday dessert featuring a playful, pastel marbled interior and a rich white chocolate finish. Divided into four spring shades and filled with silky white chocolate pudding, every bite is incredibly moist and topped with a cloud of homemade whipped cream.
Ingredients
The Pastel Marble Cake
- 1 box white cake mix (+ eggs, water, oil as directed)
- Food coloring: Pink, blue, green, and yellow (gel preferred)
The White Chocolate Filling
- 2 (3.3 oz) boxes instant white chocolate pudding mix
- 3 1/2 cups cold milk
The Whipped Topping
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Easter sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
Bake: Prepare cake mix. Divide batter into four bowls and tint each a different color. Drop spoonfuls into a 9×13 pan, swirl with a toothpick, and bake.
Poke: Cool for 10 mins. Poke holes 1 inch apart with a wooden spoon handle. Cool completely.
Fill: Whisk pudding and milk. While pourable, pour over cake to fill holes. Refrigerate to set.
Top: Whip cream, sugar, and vanilla to stiff peaks. Spread over pudding and garnish with sprinkles. Chill 2 hours.
Notes
White Mix is Vital: A white base preserves the pastel colors; yellow mix will distort the hues.
Pudding Timing: Pour when it reaches the consistency of heavy cream to ensure it fills the holes without soaking entirely into the crumb.
Clean Hole Trick: Wipe your spoon handle every few pokes to keep the holes clear for the pudding.
