Banana Pudding Poke Cake
Cake
1 package of yellow cake mix1 stick of butter, melted
1 cup milk
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Pudding
5.1 oz package vanilla instant pudding mix3 cups milk
4 Tbsp butter, cubed
2 tsp vanilla
3 large bananas, sliced
Topping
8 oz container Cool Whip1/2 cup crushed vanilla wafer cookies (about 12 cookies)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13 x 9 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Place the cake mix, melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute until all ingredients are incorporated. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat 2 more minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl if needed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Place the pan in the oven on the center rack.
- Bake the cake 30-33 minutes, until it is light brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove pan from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Allow to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, prepare the pudding. Place the pudding mix and milk in a medium saucepan. Stir in the butter and vanilla. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the butter melts. Remove pan from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes. Fold in the banana slices.
- Use the bottom of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly across the entire cake (about 24 holes). Slowly pour the pudding over the cake, making sure to fill the holes. Use a spatula to spread the mixture out to all edges of the cake.
- Cover the pudding with Cool Whip, using a spatula to spread it evenly to the edges. (We always leave a little border of pudding peaking around the edges of the cake, just for aesthetic purposes.) Sprinkle crushed wafer cookies over top of the Cool Whip layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
