Serving Suggestions:
This banana pudding cake is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It pairs well with a cup of coffee or tea, or even a glass of cold milk.
Variations:
If you want to switch things up, try adding some chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the pudding mixture. You can also use different flavors of instant pudding mix, such as vanilla or chocolate, to create a different flavor profile.
Substitutions:
If you don’t have a box of yellow cake mix on hand, you can make your own from scratch. Combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups of sugar, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a mixing bowl. Add in 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, 1 cup of milk, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
Storage:
Leftover banana pudding cake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- Make sure your cake has cooled completely before adding the pudding mixture, or the heat may cause it to separate.
- For a more intense banana flavor, add a few drops of banana extract to the pudding mixture.
- If you’re short on time, you can use instant cake mix instead of baking a cake from scratch.
Notes:
This recipe is perfect for potlucks, family gatherings, or any occasion where you want to impress your guests with a delicious and easy dessert.
