One of my all time favorite recipes. I use it ALL the time!
Actually the jello and pudding poke cake goes back farther than you think! When I was a child in the 60s my mom used to make these two cakes for us all of the time! In fact I still have her handwritten recipe that she wrote down in the mid sixties! I also remember Shake-A-Pudding; does anyone remember that?
