For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a layer of sliced bananas between the cake and the pudding. To prevent the vanilla wafers from becoming soggy, add them just before serving. Store leftover cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

A moist, tender cake infused with banana essence, layered with creamy pudding and topped with a cloud of whipped topping and crunchy vanilla wafers. It tastes like it took hours, but it's a breeze to make!

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, water, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix until just moistened. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. (5 minutes)
03
StepBake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 34 to 38 minutes. Cool in the baking dish for 2 to 3 minutes. (40 minutes)
04
StepUsing the handle of a wooden spoon or a chopstick, poke several holes into the cake, ensuring they reach the bottom. (2 minutes)
05
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and instant banana pudding mix until smooth. Allow the pudding to rest until it begins to thicken slightly, about 2 minutes. (5 minutes)
06
StepPour the banana pudding mixture evenly over the warm cake, ensuring it fills all the holes. (2 minutes)
07
StepRefrigerate the cake until it is completely cooled and the pudding is set, approximately 2 hours. (120 minutes)
08
StepJust before serving, spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the cake. Sprinkle generously with the crushed vanilla wafers. (5 minutes)
