what you need

pkg. (2-layer size) white cake mix

egg whites

1-1/3

cups water

Tbsp. oil

qt. (4 cups) cold milk

pkg. (4-serving size each) JELL-O Lemon Flavor Instant Pudding

Make It

PREPARE and bake cake mix as directed on pkg. for 13x9-inch baking pan, using the egg whites, water and oil. Remove from oven. Immediately poke holes down through cake to bottom of pan with round handle of wooden spoon. (Or, poke holes with a plastic drinking straw, using turning motion to make large holes.) Holes should be at 1-inch intervals.

POUR milk into large bowl. Add dry pudding mixes. Beat with wire whisk 2 min. Immediately pour about half of the thin pudding mixture evenly over warm cake and into holes to make stripes. Let remaining pudding mixture stand until slightly thickend. Spoon over top of cake, swirling to "frost" cake.

REFRIGERATE at least 1 hour or until ready to serve. Cut into 24 squares. Store in refrigerator.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Garnish with Flowers

Add an extra-special touch to desserts by sprinkling a few blossoms or petals of edible flowers around the edges of dessert plates. Purchase pesticide-free edible pansies, roses, violets and/or nasturtiums from specialty produce markets.

This was delicous and easy. I took it to work and everyone loved it. I added Cool Whip to the top. I reversed the recipe and used a lemon cake and vanilla pudding.

This is even better when you put cool whip over the top! YUM! We made this all the time when we were kids. Great stuff:) You can also make a chocolate cake and use vanilla pudding.

My family thought this was very easy to make and really enjoyed it. They especially enjoyed the pudding in the cake because it made the cake that much moister and cooler for the summer. It is a really great dessert for those cookouts.

This is so good! But, it's also very good using angel food cake, baked according to pkg. directions and using just about any flavor of sugar free pudding and skim milk.
