Ingredients

1 lemon cake mix
4 cups milk
2 3.4 ounce packages vanilla instant pudding mix
1 container Cool whip
½ teaspoon lemon extract
3 golden lemon Oreos crushed

Instructions

Prepare lemon cake mix according to the box directions and bake in a 9x13" pan, according to instructions.
With the end of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the warm cake.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together 2 cups of milk with 1 package of pudding mix and immediately pour over the warm cake. Let the cake cool completely, about 1 hour.
Once cake is cooled, make the frosting. In a large bowl, combine the remaining milk, the second package of pudding mix and lemon extract. Whisk to combine.
Fold in the Cool Whip.
Spread evenly on top of the cake. Sprinkle with the crushed golden lemon Oreos.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours.
Cut into slices and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

Mix the pudding layer quickly. Try to pour the milk and vanilla pudding mix combination over the warm cake immediately after mixing it, before it sets up. This will allow the pudding to soak into the cake easier. If it does set up, add ½ cup more milk to thin it out a little more.
