Ingredients
- 1 yellow cake mix made by the package instructions
- 2 vanilla pudding mix instant, made by package instructions, boxes plural
- 3 banana cut into disks, ripe
- 1 12 oz Whipped Cream Topping thawed to room temp, tub
- 10 vanilla wafer cookies smashed into crumbles
Instructions
- Make the cake according to package instructions in a 9x12 baking dish.
- Make the two boxes of pudding according to package instructions.
- Cut the 3 bananas into disks.
- Poke holes into the cake at regular intervals (see the process photos) and then pour the pudding onto the cake. Using a spatula, spread the pudding out over the cake and push as much of the pudding into the holes as possible.
- Place the banana disks onto the pudding.
- Cover the banana disks with the whipped cream topping and spread it out.
- Sprinkle the vanilla wafer crumbs over the top.
- Refrigerate and serve chilled.
Notes
- Cook the cake slightly under done - so if the cakes calls to be cooked for 22 minutes - cook it for 20. This allows you to poke the holes without messing up the cake too much.
- Poke a lot of holes in the cake.
- Pour the pudding as soon as you make it - when it is still a tiny bit thin.
- Use RIPE bananas for the most flavor - the greenish ones cut better but the riper ones have more banana flavor.
- Use as many vanilla wafers as you want for the topping - you are the king in your kitchen!
- PRO TIP: Dip the banana slices in a mix of 2 Tbs of lemon juice and 1 Tbs of water to keep them from browning too quickly.
- Allow the cake to cool a little before poking holes.
- This serves the same number of people regardless of it being a layer or sheet cake, but is probably slightly easier to serve to a crowd as a sheet cake.

- PRO TIP: Feel free to use something besides vanilla wafers on the top. Maybe try crushed pistachios, pecans or walnuts!
