Banana Pudding Poke Cake


My husband is OBSESSED with banana pudding. This was a genius idea for a birthday cake! 

INGREDIENTS:
1 Box White Cake Mix
1 tsp Vanilla
1 Package Vanilla Wafers
4 Bananas
2 packages Banana Pudding
1 Container Cool Whip
**Ingredients to make cake

PREHEAT OVEN AS DIRECTED ON CAKE MIX BOX

Set out Cool Whip Container to Soften.

I used three round cake pans to make a layered cake for this one. Simply mix up your cake mix by the directions on the box. Add the extra tsp vanilla. Separate evenly into 3 greased and floured round cake pans. Bake as directed. 

When done, let sit about 5 minutes. Tap pan on counter and flip cakes onto a lightly floured surface. Begin to poke cakes with a plastic "one use" straw all the way around, about an inch apart, throughout the whole cake, until all cakes are done.

Slice bananas, and mix up pudding packages. After mixing, I put the pudding mixture in a pourable measuring cup to make it easier to use.

Place one cake round on a serving plate or pan. Pour pudding mixture over the cake to fill the holes (carefully). Line with a layer of wafers and a layer of bananas. Do the same with the second layer. If it gets to thick to pour, add a bit of milk. 

Once the second layer is finished, place the last cake round on top. Pour pudding mixture into the holes carefully, and let sit five minutes. 

Stick cake in the refrigerator to cool for ten minutes.

Take the cake out, and frost with the cool whip. Crumble some wafers and sprinkle them on top of the cake and line the sides with whole wafers. 

Keep Refrigerated until you are ready to eat it.

  2. It was pretty good. My husband is a huge fan of banana pudding. (Wafers, Bananas, Pudding- layered in a dish) I just HAD to try this one out. He did mention he would like a little more pudding layered in between the cake rounds to make it "perfect", and I had plenty to spare. But overall, it was still loved by all! :-) Thanks Louise!
