Ingredients

Servings

For the cake

  • 1 15.25 oz box yellow cake mix (I used Pillsbury)
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large bananas mashed into a puree (about ⅔ cup of banana puree)

For the filling

  • 1 3.4 oz box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk

For the topping

  • 2 large or 3 medium bananas sliced
  • 8 ounces frozen whipped topping thawed
  • 20 Nilla Wafer Cookies crushed into coarse crumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9-inch cake pan. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the cake mix, water, oil, eggs and vanilla with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Add in mashed bananas and mix until fully incorporated. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Allow cake to cool 10-15 minutes. Using a straw or the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes across the cake, spaced every inch or so, halfway into the cake.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes. Pour evenly over the cake, making sure the mixture gets into the holes.
  5. Place the banana slices on top of the cake. Evenly top with the whipped topping. Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight for the best flavor.
  6. Before serving, top with Nilla wafer cookies crushed into crumbs
