Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare the cake according to the box directions.
- Pour the batter into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.

- While the cake is baking, prepare the pudding according to its package instructions.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cake batter. If you don't have a 13 x 9-inch pan, a round cake pan can work too, but adjust the baking time. You can also use chocolate or butterscotch pudding for a fun twist; these variations complement the white cake nicely. Remember to let the pudding cool slightly before swirling to prevent it from sinking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Marble Pudding Cake with a dollop of whipped cream on top and fresh berries for a refreshing contrast. It pairs beautifully with Zippy Jalapeno Dip as an appetizer or side. For a complete meal, consider serving it after a light salad or with a cup of coffee or tea, enhancing the dessert experience.
