Graveyard Pudding Cake is a cute, fun Halloween dessert. This Halloween cake is great for getting kids involved in decorating it. It is a festive, spooky cake made with Devil’s food cake mix. A poke cake filled with white chocolate pudding dyed neon green and orange. This is also a great cake to change up and make it a birthday graveyard cake for a fun birthday cake dessert.
Preheat your oven to 350°F/177°C. Lightly grease a 9" x 13" baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 15.25 box Devils Food Chocolate Cake Mix, 1 ¼ cup water, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 3 large eggs. Use a hand mixer with beaters attached to mix until combined. Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Set the cake aside to cool on a wire rack.
Using the handle of a wooden spoon poke holes into the cake.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1 (3.3) ounce instant white chocolate pudding mix (box) and 2 cups whole milk. Whisk until smooth, about 3 minutes.
Separate the pudding into 2 medium-sized bowls.
Mix neon green food coloring into one bowl of pudding. Then mix orange food coloring into the second bowl of pudding.
Carefully spoon or use a clean cooking syringe to insert the pudding into the holes. I like to alternate colors.
Top the cake with the 1 (8) ounce container, whipped topping, thawed
