Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
For the Banana Pudding Layer:
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup whipped cream
For the Layers & Topping:
- 3–4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 box vanilla wafers
- 1 cup whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line cake pans.
In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla.
Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk, mixing until smooth.
Divide batter into pans and bake for 25–30 minutes until done.
Let cakes cool completely.
Prepare pudding by whisking milk, pudding mix, and condensed milk until thick. Fold in whipped cream.
Assemble cake: layer cake, pudding mixture, banana slices, and vanilla wafers.
Repeat layers and finish with whipped cream on top.
Chill for at least 2–3 hours before serving.
Notes
Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness. Avoid assembling too early to prevent wafers from becoming too soft.
