BANANA PUDDING CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Combine Pudding with Milk and Mix Together Thoroughly with a hand mixer until it starts to thicken. Then fold the Sweetened condensed milk, Next fold in a little less then half of the 16oz Whipped Topping, (Remember to Reserve the Remaing topping for the top layer) The Pudding is Very Rich adding more whipped topping will make it less thick.
• 2. Then add 5-6 Large Banana's Sliced then add vanilla wafers about 20- I broke them by hand individually they crush easily, leave them in pieces not crumbs, Then you will need to reserve 21 vanilla Wafers for the Border for Garnish if you Prefer? Not mandatory just for Visual Appearance.
• 3. Place the pudding in the Refrigerator to Chill for 3-4 hours You can also Speed up the Chill Process by putting it in the Freezer, But Only leave it in the freezer for no more that 15-20min Make sure (NOT TO FREEZE) This is just a Cheating method If your in a Rush ;) Place in the fridge to keep it chilled.
• 4. Next Bea's White Cake Recipe ;) I followed her recipe the Only difference is I didn't fill the Cake Batter that high, I left room after it rised to add the Pudding and the Whipped topping Layer
• 5. I ½ Cups of Cake Flour 1 Cup All Purpose Flour 1 ½ Cup Granulated Sugar 3 tsp Baking Powder ½ tsp Salt 1 cup of Milk 1 ½ Stick of Softened Butter 1 tsp of Pure Vanilla Extract 2 Large Eggs Room Temperature Prepare Cake by Mixing the Butter, Eggs, Sugar, Vanilla extract use Hand mixer/ In a Separate Bowl Mix the Dry Ingredients Then Wisk them all together to Incorporate then add the dry ingredients to your Wet ingredients, "Mix well"
• 6. Preheat oven to 350* Spray a Large Deep Dish Pan With Nonstick Spray (Note) I Used a 11 3/4 inch X 9 3/8 inch X 29/16 inch Foil Steam Tray Pan that is used for Catering
• 7. If You Want to make a "LARGE BATCH" of this Yummy Desert Which I did This is What I Actually Made, 1 recipe of Bea's Homemade White Cake Recipe Split it in half into two separate pans that I mentioned, Then for the Pudding I Made a Very large Batch - Use as many bananas as you Prefer 6 is Plenty, 1/2 of a 16oz Container of Whipped Topping, I Only used 1 Can of Sweetened Condensed Milk, {This Makes the Pudding Very Rich} These were my actual notes as I Prepared the Pudding / 6 Boxes 3.4oz Vanilla Instant Pudding 7 Cups of Milk I used Whole Milk each box calls for 2cups of Milk but I minus 1 Cup This makes the Pudding Thicker! I tried it both ways, as I have made two Large batches already and I like this Method Better!! 35 Vanilla Wafers Crushed you can add more if you prefer?.. The End Result was YUMO!!!! So Delicious!!! the Large Batch Ensures that you will have Plenty of pudding to fill 2 Large Cakes without skimping :) The Whole Idea is a banana Pudding cake, So I added Lots of Pudding, Then Lastly I topped 2 Large Cakes with the Remaing Whipped Topping and Garnished with Vanilla Wafers You will have a small amount of left over pudding for later :)
