Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine white cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and milk. Stir until smooth.
  3. Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Poke holes evenly across the surface with the handle of a wooden spoon.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together instant vanilla pudding mix and 2 cups of cold milk until thickened.
  6. Carefully pour the pudding mixture over the poked cake. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  7. Spread a generous layer of whipped topping over the chilled cake. Optionally, add food coloring to create a pastel effect.
  8. Top with pastel sprinkles or Easter candies. Slice and serve.
