🍌 Banana Pudding Cake
🧾 Ingredients
For the Cake
- 2–3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
For the Pudding Layer
- 1 packet instant vanilla pudding (or homemade vanilla pudding)
- 2 cups milk
For the Topping
- 1 cup whipped cream or Cool Whip
- Optional: banana slices or crushed vanilla wafers
🔥 Instructions
1. Make the cake
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F)
- Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt
- In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy
- Add eggs and vanilla, then stir in mashed bananas
- Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to the banana mixture
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 25–30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean
2. Prepare pudding
- While the cake bakes, whisk pudding mix with milk until thickened
- Let it chill slightly
3. Assemble
- Once cake has cooled slightly, poke holes on the surface with a fork
- Pour pudding over cake so it seeps into the holes
- Spread whipped cream over the top
- Optional: garnish with banana slices or crushed vanilla wafers
4. Chill and serve
- Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving for best texture
- Slice into squares and enjoy
😋 Tips
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum flavor and natural sweetness
- For extra indulgence, drizzle caramel sauce over the top
- Can be made in a larger pan; adjust baking time accordingly
If you want, I can also give a one-bowl, no-poke shortcut version that’s faster but just as creamy and banana-y. Do you want me to do that?
