Ingredients

  • 1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 overripe bananas, mashed
  • ¾ cup water
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs

Topping

  • 1 (5.1-ounce) box vanilla or banana instant pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup vanilla wafers, crushed
  • 3 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Combine all cake ingredients in a mixing bowl. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Pour batter into a greased 9x13" cake pan.
  • Bake cake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 30-35 minutes or till a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Cool the cake completely, then use a round spoon handle to poke holes all over the cake about an inch apart.
  • Combine pudding mix and milk and whisk for 2 minutes. Quickly pour over the cake. Get as much pudding into the holes as you can while spreading the pudding into an even layer over the top of the cake. Cover cake and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Place vanilla wafers in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Set aside.
  • Whip cream till soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla and beat till well mixed.
  • To serve, cut the cake into slices. Top with sliced bananas, whipped cream, and crushed vanilla wafers. Refrigerate any leftovers.
