A nostalgic dessert that combines classic yellow cake with creamy banana pudding, topped with whipped cream and Nilla wafers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • Nilla wafers
  • Sliced bananas for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the yellow cake mix according to package instructions. Bake in a 9×13 inch pan until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  2. Once baked, use a fork to poke holes all over the cake. Be generous, as this will allow the pudding to seep in and infuse deliciousness!
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk until thickened. This creamy mixture is the star that will transform your cake!
  4. Pour the pudding mixture over the cake, filling the holes. Make sure to cover the entire cake so each bite is a delightful explosion of flavor.
  5. Refrigerate the cake for at least 120 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and for the cake to set up nicely.
  6. Spread whipped cream on top of the cake, creating a fluffy white cloud that’s perfect for sinking your fork into.
  7. Crush Nilla wafers and sprinkle them on top, along with sliced bananas. It’s not just for looks; they add a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creamy layers.
  8. Slice up this beauty, serve it, and watch as smiles light up the room. Get ready to hear the delighted “Mmm” sounds!
