We call that Poke cake.

I don’t do boxed mixes or pre made frostings anymore because of the hydrogenated oils/trans fats. Same with Cool Whip Free and other frozen toppings. Use the cans. Shortenings, too. I checked online as some shortenings claim to be trans fat free, but they aren’t. They still contain transfats, just in small amounts. most people think, that little bit won’t hurt, but that little bit adds up very quickly. Figure a pice of boxed cake with premade frosting and you defintely hve trans fats. I rally wish they had to list the trans fats by volume. If people could see that the package as a whole contains 20 trans fats, they would realize that they really are still getting trans fats.
