Ingredients
  

Cake:

  • 15.25 oz box yellow cake mix
  • Water, oil, and eggs called for on cake mix box

Filling:

  • 7 oz banana instant pudding (2 boxes)
  • 3 cups cold milk

Topping:

  • 8 oz Cool Whip (thawed)
  • 2 bananas (peeled and sliced)
  • 1 cup Vanilla wafer cookies (crushed)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a baking dish (13x9) with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Prepare cake according to the box directions. Once cooked through remove from oven and set aside still in the pan.
  • Use a wooden spoon to poke wholes ¾ the way down the cake.
  • Mix pudding mix with cold milk in a mixing bowl then immediately pour over your cake to fill the wholes.
  • Place your cake in the fridge for 1-2 hours to chill.
  • Once chilled remove from the fridge. Evenly spread on cool whip then top with sliced bananas and crushed cookies. Cut and serve.

Notes

  • Make sure to not add holes all the way to the pan. This way all the pudding stays inside the cake.
  • Pour your mixed pudding into your cake as soon as it is mixed. Your pudding will thicken and you want it to do that in your cake, not in the bowl.
  • Chilling is essential to allow the pudding mix to set.
  • If you do not plan on serving the entire cake today wait to add the bananas so they do not get brown.
