Growing up, there was always some scrumptious treat to eat at our house. The name my mom chose for this cake has a double meaning: P.S. for the type of cake (poppy seed) and for the love note to her family. —Sue Groetsch, La Crosse, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 1 yellow cake mix (regular size)
  • 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant coconut cream pudding mix
