Instructions to Make Banana Pudding Poke Cake
Follow these easy steps to whip up your Banana Pudding Poke Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, and water. Mix until well combined and pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
- Once the cake is cool, use the end of a wooden spoon or a skewer to poke holes all over the cake, about 1 inch apart.
- In another bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and the 3 cups of milk with the instant vanilla pudding mix until well combined. Let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens.
- Pour the pudding mixture over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes. Spread it evenly over the top.
- Layer the sliced bananas over the pudding, followed by spreading the whipped topping on top of the bananas.
- If desired, sprinkle crushed vanilla wafers on top for added crunch and flavor.
- Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
When you’re ready to serve, slice the cake into squares and enjoy a delicious bite of fluffy cake, creamy pudding, and smooth banana. This Banana Pudding Poke Cake will quickly become a favorite for any occasion!
