My mother makes this. This time I used vanilla pudding and yellow cake mix with all sugar free ingredients. Loved it!

I am a member of the American Legion Riders and I made this cake for our 4th of July Riders social and it was a hit. Everyone loved it and have given me multiple new ideas for different flavors for other events. This recipe is most deffinately a keeper.

This is our favorite cake in our family but it's made slightly different than this recipe. I substitute instant Vanilla pudding for the white chocolate pudding in the frosting, and in the Jello recipe instead of using cold and hot water I use hot water and I replace the cold water with Welch's Strawberry soda. It is always a hit.

I was worried I would somehow make a disaster out of the cake since I'd never attempted to make a "poke cake" before, but it was surprisingly easy! The cake couldn't have been more delicious; the white cake with the strawberry accent was fantastic, and I thought the simple topping was the tastiest part. I also couldn't find white chocolate pudding, but vanilla pudding was, I'm sure, just as yummy.

I love this recipe, my only issue is even if I don't poke the holes all the way down I end up with a very jello bottom. Made a vanilla cake, cherry jello, and vanilla (dyed blue) top for the 4th. Huge hit! Now making a vanilla cake, lime jello, and lemon top for a summer BBQ. Love this recipe.

WOW...this was wonderful;) I made this for my husband for Fathers Day! I used a strawberry pudding cake mix and added fresh chopped strawberries. I did not have cheesecake flavored pudding, but the vanilla turned out great...thanks:)

I made this for a memorial day picnic and everyone loved it! I couldn't find the white chocolate pudding though so I used the cheescake flavor pudding and it was an instant hit! I will definitely be making this again very soon!
