With layers of creamy pudding, vanilla wafers and whipped cream, it’s no wonder banana pudding is a favorite for many. Now imagine all that goodness with<\/em> cake. Thanks to a box of yellow cake mix and a few extra steps, you’re closer than you think to banana pudding cake.<\/p>\n This dreamy homemade cake takes inspiration from timeless banana pudding<\/a>. It’s bursting with banana flavor, with fresh mashed bananas in the moist cake layers and pudding in between. It’s all you love about banana pudding but elevated. Make it for any special occasion when you’re baking for someone who can’t get enough of banana desserts<\/a>.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Line the bottoms of two greased 9-inch round baking pans with parchment and grease the paper. Combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, oil, milk and vanilla extract, and beat on low speed until moistened, about 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed for two minutes.<\/p>\n Stir in the mashed banana.<\/p>\n Spread 1\/2 cup of the cake batter into each prepared pan.<\/p>\n Arrange 2 cups of vanilla wafers on top of the batter, flat side up (1 cup per pan). Gently spread the remaining batter over the wafers.<\/p>\n Bake the cake for 15 to 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them from the pans to wire racks to cool completely.<\/p>\n Whisk together the milk and pudding mix for two minutes. Let the mixture stand for two minutes until soft-set.<\/p>\n In a chilled large bowl and using chilled beaters, beat the heavy cream until it begins to thicken.<\/p>\n Add the confectioners’ sugar and beat until soft peaks form.<\/p>\n Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread the top with the pudding mixture. Top with the second cake layer. Spread the sweetened whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake. Crush 1 cup of vanilla wafers and gently press the crumbs onto the sides of the cake. Garnish the cake with the remaining whole vanilla wafers and sliced bananas if desired.<\/p>\n All cakes with pudding should be kept cold in the fridge until just before serving.<\/p>\n This banana pudding cake will last in the fridge for three to four days. It’s best to avoid freezing it, as the frozen temperatures will alter the texture of the pudding and whipped cream frosting.<\/p>\n Hoping to prep ahead to serve this for a special occasion? Some parts of this dessert can be made ahead of time. Bake the cake layers and wrap them in storage wrap to store in the fridge for up to three days beforehand. It’s best to make the banana pudding and whipped cream right before assembly for the best taste and texture. If you’d like to make the entire cake, prep it one day ahead of serving.<\/p>\n The magic of banana pudding cake is that it stays moist on its own thanks to the pudding filling. The longer the cake sits in the refrigerator, the softer the layers will become, turning it into a more spoonable cake versus sliceable. This time in the fridge will enhance the flavors even further. Love the texture? Try other cake recipes with pudding<\/a>.<\/p>\n The best bananas for this banana pudding cake are very ripe bananas. This brings maximum flavor to the cake batter. However, you don’t want to have brown banana slices on top for garnish. If you plan to garnish with banana slices, dip them in lemon juice to help keep them looking fresh for serving.<\/p>\n With banana cake layers, banana pudding and fresh whipped cream, this multi-layer cake has so much going for it. There’s no need to serve it with anything else. However, if you do want to dress it up even further, consider pairing it with a drizzle of caramel sauce<\/a> or a scoop of salted caramel ice cream for a delicious pairing.<\/p>\n For a nice, even layer of homemade whipped cream frosting, a flat spatula is the best tool for the job. Choose a straight, flat spatula or an angled spatula with a straight edge for easy cake decorating.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I love to make cakes, and my family loves banana pudding.
