Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven and prepare a 9x13 casserole dish according to the cake package instructions.
  • Prepare the cake. In a large bowl, prepare the cake mix as instructed on the package. Pour it into the prepared casserole dish and bake. Once baked, set it aside to cool in the casserole dish for about 30 minutes.
  • Add the pudding. Using a spoon handle or other round stick-like object, poke holes in the cake about 1 inch apart. Spread your pudding over the cake, making sure to push the pudding down into the holes as you spread it. If you want to make sure each hole gets filled, you can use a piping bag to squirt the pudding directly into the holes before spreading the rest over the cake.
  • Make the dirt. Place your Oreos in a food processor and blend on low until they are a coarse crumble texture. Spread this crumble evenly over the top of the pudding.
  • Make the grass. In a sandwich bag or small bowl, combine the coconut flakes with the green food coloring. Squish it around in the bag until all flakes are green. Sprinkle the green coconut flakes evenly over the Oreo crumble. It won't completely hide the Oreo crumble, that’s ok.
  • Decorate the cake. Place the peep bunnies and candy eggs around the top of the cake.

Notes

  • Allow your cake to cool for a minimum of 30 minutes after it comes out of the oven to prevent the pudding from melting and becoming runny.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice and serve the Easter dump cake. I like to also wipe it clean between slices to make sure they’re all even and pretty.
  • Only add the amount of pudding the recipe calls for to prevent the cake from becoming wet and soggy at the bottom.
