In a large mixing bowl, prepare the cake mix according to the instructions on the box. Once the batter is ready, pour it into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top using a spatula.

Bake the cake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Custard Filling
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with 1 ½ cups of whole milk. Whisk the mixture vigorously for about 2 minutes until it thickens. Set it aside to allow it to set further.

In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until fully combined.
