Banana Pudding Cake

This delicious banana pudding cake combines the flavors of ripe bananas, vanilla pudding, and fluffy cake layers.

Ingredients - Serves 8

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the banana mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the vanilla pudding according to the package instructions using the cold milk.
Once the cake has cooled, poke holes all over the surface using the handle of a wooden spoon.
Pour the prepared vanilla pudding over the cake, spreading it evenly and allowing it to seep into the holes.
Top the cake with whipped cream, crushed vanilla wafers, and banana slices.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Slice and enjoy!
