This is a special Cake. It has extreme flavor, beautiful appearance and is delightfully fun to eat. This cake does not stop at just Banana pudding as the filling, it combines the intense flavor in the cake and also in the frosting.
This is seriously Grandmas’ Banana Cake recipe, with some minute changes that are bound to make everyone smile ear to ear. There is more flavor to enjoy, and just looking at the cake makes your mouth water.
It is very seldom that you find a recipe that has kept the old recipe intact, but yet added new twists. This Banana Pudding Cake is the recipe.
The cake contains banana pudding mix, the filling is banana pudding, and the frosting is a simple whipped topping with Nilla Wafers and Sweetened Condensed Milk Drizzle. I have been experimenting with different ideas for the topping. I will let you know what I come up with.
What flavor of Cake should I use for this cake?
This recipe calls for a homemade cake. I would imagine that you could save time by using a box mix. If so I would use white cake.
How do I keep this cake fresh?
First, you will need to keep it covered in an airtight container. The cake will also have to be kept in the refrigerator. The whipped topping will not last much more than 24 hours, so do your best to eat it all before that time is up.
Can I freeze the cake?
Once it is assembled and frosted, I would not freeze it. The pudding will deteriorate when thawing, as will the whipped topping.
