How to Make and Steps 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside. 2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed to mix until well combined. 3. Pour the cake mixture into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 4. While the cake is baking, prepare the banana cream filling. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix, milk, and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and well combined. 5. Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Then, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes in the cake, making sure to poke all the way to the bottom. 6. Pour the banana cream filling into the holes, then use a spatula to spread it evenly over the cake, making sure it gets into the holes. 7. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour or until the filling is set. 8. In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. 9. Once the cake is chilled, spread the whipped cream over the top of the cake. 10. Garnish with sliced bananas and serve chilled. Tips - Be sure to let the cake cool for a few minutes before poking the holes or they may not go all the way through. - Use a wooden spoon handle or a chopstick to poke the holes, being careful not to break the cake. - If desired, you can add a layer of vanilla wafer cookies in the filling for added texture and flavor. - You can also use fresh whipped cream instead of whipped topping for a lighter, fresher taste.
