Ingredients
- Yellow cake mix (plus ingredients to prepare it)
- Instant banana pudding mix
- Milk
- Whipped topping
- Vanilla wafers, crushed
- Sliced bananas
Instructions
- Bake the Cake: Prepare the yellow cake mix according to package instructions and bake in a 9 x 13-inch pan. Let it cool slightly.
- Poke Holes: Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes throughout the cake, making them deep enough for the pudding to seep into.
- Prepare Pudding: Whisk together the banana pudding mix and milk until smooth and lump-free.
- Fill the Holes: Pour the pudding mixture over the entire cake, ensuring it seeps into all the holes. Use a spoon to help push the pudding into the cake and spread it evenly.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours, or until the pudding is set.
- Top and Serve: Spread whipped topping over the cake, then sprinkle with crushed vanilla wafers and sliced bananas. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- For an extra banana flavor, layer banana slices directly onto the cake before pouring the pudding.
- Serve cold and store leftovers in the refrigerator to keep the whipped topping fresh.
