Description

Banana Pudding Cake is a moist and fluffy dessert combining the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with creamy vanilla pudding flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 ripe bananas (overripe for maximum sweetness)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free baking blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Mash the ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth and set aside.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, vanilla pudding mix, sugar, and baking powder to evenly combine the dry components for a consistent batter.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Beat the eggs and melted butter together until smooth. Slowly stir in the milk, then add the mashed bananas, mixing well to incorporate the creamy banana flavor.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, to keep the cake light and tender.
  5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into a greased or lined 9×13 inch baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. Serve plain or topped with whipped cream and fresh banana slices for added flair.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure a light crumb.
  • Check oven temperature and monitor cake near the end of baking.
  • Add a splash of vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
  • Test doneness with a toothpick before removing from the oven.
