Ingredients
Scale
Cake Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
Filling and Topping
- 1 (3.3-ounce) box white chocolate instant pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1/2 cup blackberry jam or preserves
- 1 1/2 cups whipped topping or whipped cream
- 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
- White chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare and Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven according to the white cake mix package instructions. Prepare the cake mix as directed, then pour it into a greased 9×13-inch pan. Bake the cake and allow it to cool for 10 minutes after baking.
- Poke Holes and Add Jam: While the cake is still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake. Warm the blackberry jam slightly in the microwave for 15–20 seconds to make it more pourable, then drizzle it evenly over the cake, letting it seep into the holes. Allow the cake to cool completely.
- Prepare White Chocolate Pudding Layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the white chocolate instant pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened, approximately 2 minutes. Spread this pudding layer evenly over the fully cooled cake. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to set the pudding.
- Add Whipped Topping and Garnish: Before serving, spread 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping or whipped cream over the pudding layer. Garnish the top with fresh blackberries and white chocolate shavings if desired. Slice into 12 servings and serve chilled.
Notes
- You can swirl some of the blackberry jam into the whipped topping for extra color and flavor.
- This cake is best served cold and can be made a day ahead to enhance the flavors.
