Coconut Pudding Cake

1 cake mix (yellow or white)

2 pkg. (4 serving size each) coconut pudding
2 1/2 cups milk

Mix the cake according to package directions and bake in 2 round cake pans.  Cool COMPLETELY.  Mix pudding and milk.  Allow to thicken.  Slice the cakes in down the middle making 4 round layers.  Carefully lay a layer onto your cake plate, cover with pudding.  Carefully add the next layer and repeat with pudding.  Continue ending with pudding being your topping.  Sprinkle with coconut (optional).

Comment:  This is so easy.  I originally thought about putting the pudding between the layers only and icing the cake but changed my mind using the pudding on top.  When I sliced my layers I carefully placed each on a paper plate.  When putting together use the thickest one 1st (there will always be one thicker than the other when you slice).  Add pudding, top with a thinner layer, add pudding and top with other thin layer using the other thick one for the top.  This cake came out so moist!  And think of all the other flavors you might want to use.  Pistachio would be delicious!!  You could do chocolate with chocolate cake, or yellow.  Lemon maybe.  Whatever pudding flavor you might like you can make a delicious cake with.

Lemon Almond Pudding Cake - the only changes was to use a lemon cake mix and lemon pudding along with almond slivers sprinkled over each layer.  So good!
