Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) Yellow cake mix
- 2 medium Ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1 box (3.4 oz) Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 box (3.4 oz) Banana cream pudding mix
- 2 cups Cold milk (for topping pudding)
- 8 oz Whipped topping
- 1 cup Vanilla wafers (crushed)
- 1 banana Banana slices (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, mashed bananas, instant vanilla pudding mix, whole milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients on medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until the batter is smooth and well blended.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the banana cream pudding topping. In a medium bowl, whisk together the banana cream pudding mix and 2 cups of cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes).
Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the cooled cake.
Top the pudding layer with the whipped topping, spreading it into a smooth layer.
Sprinkle crushed vanilla wafers over the whipped topping for a crunchy texture.
If desired, garnish the top with banana slices just before serving.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
