Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, egg whites, vegetable oil, Greek yogurt, whole milk, and gel food coloring. Mix on medium speed until combined.
Pour batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan and bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool the cake for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Once cooled completely, poke holes in the top using a fork.
In another bowl, whisk together instant pudding mix and 2 ¾ cups of whole milk until thickened. Pour evenly over the holes in the cake.
Whip heavy cream with sugar until soft peaks form; spread over the pudding layer.
Top with shredded coconut and sprinkles or candy as desired.
