Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 3 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tub whipped topping (8 oz)
  • 1 cup Nilla wafers, crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the yellow cake mix as per package instructions and pour into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
  3. Once cooled, poke holes all over the cake with a fork.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until thickened (about 2 minutes). Spread evenly over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
  5. Layer sliced bananas on top of the pudding, followed by spreading whipped topping generously.
  6. Crush some Nilla wafers and sprinkle on top for added crunch.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
