Irresistible Banana Pudding Cake Recipe
Juicy Irresistible Banana Pudding Cake extra-super moist, and the banana streusel on top might just be the best part.This simple recipe cake works for breakfast or dessert,It’s my go to summertime cake.
Speaking of summer, here are some of the sweets of this season,Easy Brown Sugar Peach Cake and 3 Ingredient Cheese Drop Biscuits .

You know those desserts that somehow disappear even before they hit the table and well this one is exactly like that so I’m not exaggerating when I say the first time I made this banana pudding cake I turned around to grab a fork and by the time I looked back half of it was already gone and my sister claimed my little girl ate it but honestly I’m pretty sure it was her Hhhh .
I wasn’t even planning to bake a cake that day yet I had ripe bananas sitting on the counter and this craving I just couldn’t shake and you know the kind where nothing else works except something sweet and soft and ridiculously creamy so before I knew it I was whipping up pudding like a madwoman and layering it with cake like some kind of Jenga master.

And believe it or not I almost forgot to add the whipped topping because that was such a rookie move although thankfully my niece spoke up right in the middle of her bite and said “Hey isn’t there supposed to be some fluffy stuff on top” so she totally saved the day.
Honestly this cake is a whole vibe because it’s like banana pudding went to a southern bake sale and decided to show off and said “Let’s wow ’em”.
So if you’ve never had banana pudding in cake form then buckle up because you’re in for a really good one
Ingredients :
- 1 box yellow cake mix plus eggs, oil, and water according to box instructions
- 1 box instant banana pudding mix

How to Make Irresistible Banana Pudding Cake
Step 1
The first thing you need to do is bake the cake: Prepare the yellow cake mix as directed on the package, and bake it in a 9×13-inch baking pan. After baking, let it cool completely. (You can bake the cake up to a day ahead.It’s time to make the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk the banana pudding mix with the cold milk for about 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Let it stand for a few minutes to set.


Step 2
The second step is to pierce the cake: Using the handle of a wooden spoon, pierce the cooled cake completely. Don’t pierce it too deeply, just enough to allow the pudding to run out. Then add the pudding: Pour the prepared pudding over the cake, using a flat spoon to spread it evenly, and gently press it into the holes.
Step 3
Now you can add the bananas and wafers: Place a single layer of banana slices on top of the pudding. Then add a layer of vanilla-flavored wafers. You can crush some if you prefer smaller pieces. Top with whipped cream evenly. You can garnish with additional banana slices, whole or crushed wafers, or a drizzle of caramel sauce, if desired.
Step 4
The final step is to chill and serve: Refrigerate the cake for at least two hours preferably overnight before serving. This helps it absorb all the flavors and makes it easier to slice.

Notes
- Don’t overbake the cake:Follow the box instructions carefully and check the center with a toothpick. A dry cake won't soak up pudding well.
- Let the cake cool completely: Pudding will melt or become runny if the cake is warm, so allow it to cool before adding anything on top.
- Use cold milk and whisk for a full 2 minutes to make sure it thickens. Let it sit for a couple of minutes before using.
- Slice bananas right before layering: This helps prevent browning and keeps the bananas fresh.
