This banana pudding cake is so easy! It’s a layer homemade yellow cake, instant pudding, bananas, wafers and whip-cream!

Ingredients

  • Cake:
  • * 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    * 3 tsp baking powder
    * 1/4 tsp salt
    * 16 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (2 sticks)
    * 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
    * 5 medium eggs
    * 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    * 1 1/4 cup buttermilk

  • Pudding:
  • * 1 box instant pudding (vanilla, coconut, or chocolate are good choices)

  • Whip cream & Toppings:
  • * 2 cups heavy whipping cream cream
    * 1/4 cup powder sugar
    * 1 tsp vanilla extract
    * 2-3 bananas sliced
    * 1 cup vanilla wafers

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease 9×13 baking dish or I used a 11×11 square spring form pan! I love baking with it.
  • Combine flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl using a hand or stand mixer beat together the sugar and melted butter for about 3-5 minutes on medium speed.
  • Add in eggs and vanilla extract. Beat together. Alternating flour and butter milk add till fully combined.
  • Bake for 30 min. My cake baked at exactly 28 min so check around 25 min. If using the 9×13 cake pan could take up to 35 min.
  • While cake is baking make instant pudding by following box instructions. Make your whip cream by beating together heavy whipping cream, powder sugar and vanilla extract. Put pudding and whip cream in fridge.
  • Slice your bananas. Remove cake from oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Poke holes in top of cake. Let cake sit for another 5 minutes.
  • Remove instant pudding from fridge and pour over cake and smooth out. Layer bananas on top of pudding and put a handful of full wafers. Sprinkled crushed wafers on top of the pudding.
  • Take whip cream out of the fridge and spread a layer of whip cream on top of the cake. Pipe remaining whip cream on top of smooth layer. Garnish if desired.
