Instructions

Prepare and bake the cake in a 13×9 baking dish according to the package directions.

Use a wooden spoon to poke holes across the top of the cake. Do not poke all the way through to the bottom.

In a large bowl, whisk the pudding mix, eggnog and pumpkin pie spice until combined.

Immediately pour the pudding mixture over the cake, making sure that the mixture goes into all of the holes. Spread the pudding into an even layer.

Refrigerate the cake for at least one hour.

Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the top of the cake.

Dust with additional pumpkin pie spice

Tips & Tricks (5)

Eggnog Infusion Technique 🥛
Poke holes while the cake is still warm to ensure maximum eggnog pudding absorption, creating a more moisture-rich and flavorful dessert.
Spice Layering Trick 🌟
Mix a small amount of pumpkin pie spice directly into the whipped topping for an extra burst of holiday flavor that permeates every bite.
Pudding Mix Pro Tip 🥄
Use cold eggnog when preparing the instant pudding mix to enhance the rich, creamy texture and intensify the traditional eggnog flavor profile.
Chill for Perfection 🧊
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the eggnog pudding to fully set and develop a more intense flavor.
Garnish Like a Pro 🎄
Use a fine mesh sifter to dust nutmeg over the whipped topping for an elegant, even coating that looks professionally prepared.
