Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl combine cake mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs.
  2. Beat with a mixer for about 2 minutes until well combined.
  3. Then fold in the shredded carrots, crushed pineapple, and walnuts.
  4. Pour batter into a greased 9×13 baking dish.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25-28 minutes until cooked.
  6. Let the cake cool completely before poking holes with the end of a wooden spoon.
  7. Mix pudding mix with cold milk to form pudding and pour over cake.
  8. Spread pudding until it covers the cake and sinks into holes.
  9. Then remove the cap and foil of the cream cheese frosting and microwave for about 15 – 25 seconds until pourable. (Do not over heat. You still want it thick enough so it stays where you pour.)
  10. Stir frosting and pour over cake and spread.
  11. Sprinkle with more walnuts on top.
  12. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
