Banana Pudding Cake
INGREDIENTS
- 2 c. cold milk
- 5 c. powdered sugar
- 1 (3.4 oz) box vanilla pudding mix
- Whole Nilla Wafers, for garnish
- 1/2 c. Cool Whip
- 1 1/2 c. butter, softened
- 1/4 c. plus 2 tbsp. heavy cream
- 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 2 bananas, sliced
- 1 box vanilla cake mix, plus ingredients called for on box
- 1 c. crushed Nilla Wafers
Instructions:
Make cake: Preheat oven to 350°. Line two round 9" cake pans with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray.
Prepare cake mix according to package instructions. Divide batter between cake pans and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
Let cakes cool for 10 minutes in pans then invert onto wire racks to cool completely.
Make pudding: In a large bowl, combine pudding mix and milk and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes. Fold in Cool Whip.
Make buttercream frosting: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, combine butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt.
Beat until light and fluffy. Add remaining sugar and heavy cream and beat until smooth.
Assemble cake: Using a serrated knife, cut off the rounded top of each cake to level.
Top one cake with a layer of pudding then top with most of the banana slices (reserve some for garnish).
Place second cake on top and frost entire cake with buttercream, reserving about 1 cup to pipe on top. Press crushed Nilla wafers around the sides of the cake.
Transfer remaining buttercream to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe large swirls around the top of the cake. Decorate with Nilla wafers and more banana slices.
