My husband recently celebrated a birthday. I won't age him publicly, but let's just say it was a big one. Big enough that we would have done something special if not for the coronavirus pandemic.
As it was he didn't feel like celebrating, so instead we had a quiet evening at home. We ordered delivery pizza, and I didn't even bake him a cake. Which is shameful if you consider how simple and easy it is to make his favorite birthday cake.
He calls it a pudding cake, but you may know it as poke cake. And it is stupid easy: Bake any cake mix according to package directions, in a 9-by-13-inch pan, poke holes in it with the handle of a wooden spoon, pour your favorite flavor of prepared instant pudding over the cake and refrigerate until set.
