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)

Poke Holes Strategically 🍰
Use a fork or skewer to create evenly-spaced holes across the entire cake surface, piercing about 3/4 of the way down to ensure the eggnog pudding mixture penetrates throughout for maximum flavor absorption.
Chill Before Topping ❄️
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2-3 hours after pouring the eggnog pudding mixture so it fully sets and stabilizes before adding whipped topping, preventing the layers from shifting.
Bloom Your Pudding Mix 🥛
Whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with a small amount of cold eggnog first before adding the remaining liquid to eliminate lumps and create a silky-smooth filling.
Toast Your Spices 🌰
Lightly warm the pumpkin pie spice in a dry pan for 30 seconds before sprinkling it on top to intensify and release its essential oils, elevating the holiday aroma and flavor impact.
Use Room-Temperature Eggnog 🥚
Allow eggnog to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before mixing with pudding to ensure smooth integration and prevent lumping when combined with the pudding mix.
