Ingredients and Materials

Cake

• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 3 medium overripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup water

Pudding and Topping

• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 1/2 cups cold water
• 1 small box of instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 cups heavy cream, whipped
• 20-24 vanilla wafers, coarsely crushed
• 1-2 ripe bananas, sliced (optional)

How to make it

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, add the cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, mashed bananas, and water. Beat the mixture until it's well combined.

Step 3

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake it in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk and cold water. Then, add in the instant vanilla pudding mix and whisk for 2 minutes until the pudding becomes thick. Place it in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes to chill.

Step 5

In another mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Take the chilled pudding mixture from the refrigerator and fold in the whipped cream.

Step 6

Spread half of the vanilla wafers over the top of the cooled cake. Pour the chilled pudding mixture over the wafers and spread it evenly, making sure to cover all the edges. Place the cake in the refrigerator to chill for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 7

Add up sliced bananas over the pudding layer (optional)

Step 8

Sprinkle the rest of the crushed wafers over the top of the pudding. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 9

Once the cake is chilled, remove it from the fridge and let it sit for 10 minutes before serving. Slice the cake into individual servings and enjoy!

Tips

• Make sure your bananas are ripe and brown for maximum flavor in the cake.
• For a richer and creamier pudding layer, use heavy cream instead of regular milk.
• Crush your vanilla wafers coarsely to add a nice crunchiness to the dessert.
