Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces yellow cake mix (1 box), such as Betty Crocker
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 egg large
- 6.8 ounces banana pudding mix 2 boxes, instant
- 4 cups milk
- 8 ounces whipped topping thawed, such as Cool Whip
- 1½ cups vanilla wafers (about 33 wafers)
- 1 banana sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Prepare the cake mix with the water, oil, and egg. Bake per the box directions (about 30 minutes). Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes.
- Take the back of a wooden spoon or a chopstick and poke a hole almost to the bottom of the cake. Repeat this process all over the cake. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk just until combined. Immediately pour the pudding evenly over the cake.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the pudding set.
- Remove the cake from the refrigerator. Spread the whipped topping over the top of the cake.
- Place some whole wafers on top of the whipped topping, then crush the rest of the wafers and sprinkle the crumbs over the top. Place the banana slices over the crumbs prior to serving.
