Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 34–38 minutes, or according to the package directions. Let the cake sit for about 5 minutes.
While the cake is still warm, poke holes evenly over the top using the handle of a wooden spoon.
In a medium bowl, mix the pudding and milk. Pour it evenly over the cake, using a spatula to gently push the pudding into the holes. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

When spreading the whipped topping, try not to go back and forth too much so you don’t disturb the pudding. This helps keep the layers separate.
