1802.0. "CAKE: Stripe it Rich Cake" by BRAT::MORIN () Tue Jun 06 1989 16:47

Looking for a chocolate pudding cake recipe.  Not the kind, when you
    bake it, it forms a layer of pudding. 
    
    This recipe would have first come out about 8 years ago with the
    jell-o pudding in it.  You bake the cake, then make holes and pour a mixture
    with jell-o pudding and some thing else over the top.  And then the 
    pudding seeps into the holes.  
    
    My problem is I cannot remember how to make the mixture to pour
    over the top.     
    
    Any help would be great

1802.1Pudding or Gelatin?AKOV11::GALVINALPHA.......works for meWed Jun 07 1989 08:5514
    I don't remember pouring jello pudding over it but, I do remember
    pouring jello gelatin over it, in fact I still make that kind of
    cake for my youngest son.
    
    You just bake a regular white cake in a 9 1/2 by 13 1/2 pan, let
    cool.  Make a package of jello gelatin, I like to make red because
    it is so pretty against the white.  Poke holes in the cake and drizzle
    the jello over the whole cake.  Put it in the refrigerator to set.
    
    I then use cool whip as a frosting, tastes great.
    
    Hope this helps,

1802.2Make it seasonal!FRICK::TRAVERSWed Jun 07 1989 10:157
    re .1
    
    I make cake like this at Christmastime.  Pour red gelatin over one
    layer and pour green (lime) gelatin over the other.  Make a layered
    cake with whipped cream and garnish with red and green sprinkles
    or jimmies.
      
1802.4I think I have it...FROSTY::JORDANWed Jun 07 1989 12:217
    I THINK I KNOW, IT'S YOUR BASIC CAKE, POKE HOLES (LIKE THE SIZE
    OF IF YOU WERE TO PUT A PENCIL THRU) THEN MAKE INSTANT PUDDING,
    AND POUR OVER YOUR CAKE, ONE POINT MAKE SURE YOUR PUDDING HAS
    NOT STARTED TO GEL POUR IT RIGHT AWAY ... THEN REFRIDGERATE....

1802.5maybe this one??WAV14::BELLWed Jun 07 1989 17:5716
    I remember making a cake like this a few times.  It was a basic
    cake, cool, poke and pour the jello mixture then let set in refrig.
    
    It was topped with a creamy frosting:  1 pkg of instant pudding
                                           1 pkg of dreamwhip
                                           1 cup very cold milk
    
    whip with electric beaters in bowl til firm (chill beaters and
    bowl in refrig first)  Frost cake.  
    
    It was quite good.  The Pudding flavor would depend on flavor of
    cake.  Chocolate was my choice for both cake and frosting. I think
    I used a cherry jello.
    
    Good Luck
    
1802.6Huh?CSG001::SCHOFIELDMon Jun 12 1989 15:3811
    Maybe I'm really slow today (recovering from the flu), but do you
    all mean that you make and cook a regular white cake. Then make
    the Jello and right when it's finished dissolving you just pour
    it over the cake (that you have since poked holes in)? Doesn't the
    cake get soggy? And with what do you poke the holes?
    
    Sounds delish and the Christmas idea is great, but I just can't
    figure out how the #1 holes get there and #2 how the cake doesn't
    get soggy.
    
    thanks, Beth
1802.7NECVAX::OBRIEN_Jat the tone......Mon Jun 12 1989 15:483
    My mother makes this all the time.  Let the jello-thicken a little
    then pour over.  She pokes the holes with a straw about every 2
    inches apart.
1802.8It doesn't get soggy!AKOV11::GALVINALPHA.......works for meTue Jun 13 1989 09:008
    I also use a straw.  I just let the cake cool til it is solid, then
    pour the jello right over it making sure that it seeps into the
    holes.  I don't even wait til it thickens.  It doesn't get soggy
    because you put it in the refrigerator and it sets, and it tastes
    great.  Diet conscious people could use Angel cake with sugar free
    jello.

1802.12STRIPE-IT-RICH CAKEMSDOA::PHALLWed Jun 14 1989 10:2124
    This is official!! I save the boxes of jello & pudding with the
    recepies, so here it is.
    
             STRIPE-IT-RICH CAKE
    
    1 pkg. (2 layer size) cake mix or pudding included cake mix
    2 pkg. (4 serving size) Instant pudding mix (any complimentary flavor)
    1 cup confectioners sugar
    4 cups cold milk
    
    1.  Prepare cake mix as directed on package & bake in 13 x 9 pan.
    2.  Remove from oven.  Poke hole quickly down through the cake
        with the handle of a wooden spoon, or with a straw.  Holes
        should be at 1 inch intervals.
    3.  Only after poking holes, combine pudding mix with sugar in 
        large bowl.  Gradually stir in milk.  Beat at low speed for
        no more than 1 minute.
    4.  Quickly, before pudding thickens, pour about one-half of 
        the thin pudding evenly over warm cake, and into the holes to
        make the stripes.
    5.  Allow remaining pudding to thicken slightly, then spoon over
        the top, swirling it to frost the cake.  Chill at least 1 hour.
        Store cake in the refrigerator.
