Banana Pudding Poke Cake

This banana pudding poke cake cranks the flavor to 11. A rich banana cream cheese mixture fills a hole-poked yellow cake with whipped cream.

Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • 9x13 baking dish
  • wooden spoon or skewer

Ingredients

  • 15.25 ounces yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 24 ounces whipped topping
  • 5 ounce instant banana pudding
  • 2 cups milk
  • Vanilla wafers for garnish
  • Bananas for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare the cake mix as directed on the box and pour into a greased 9x13 baking dish.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Using the end of a wooden spoon poke hole all over your cake. You want to make the holes fairly large so the filling can get down into them.
  • Next prepare the filling.
  • In a mixing bowl whip together the softened cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk.
  • In another bowl prepare the banana pudding by mixing with the 2 cups of milk.
  • Fold one container of whipped topping into the banana pudding mixture.
  • Combine the cream cheese mixture with the pudding mixture.
  • Spoon the banana pudding mix on top of the cake making sure it gets down into the holes.
  • Cover the top with a layer of whipped cream and crushed vanilla wafers.
  • Place in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Garnish with fresh bananas before serving.
