When it comes to desserts, cake is always on the menu and it is a crowd pleaser to say the least. There are many different types of cakes to choose from but for many people, nothing beats a good poke cake. Not only are they moist, they are creamy and when they are made properly, they are absolutely delicious. This banana poke cake is one that should be at the top of the list, and it is so easy to make, you might just make it every day.
The layers of this poke cake are blended with banana pudding, crushed vanilla wafers and yellowcake. It really is a simple recipe, and by using small sized Mason jars, you can make it in single servings rather than making a large cake. The taste of banana really shines through but when it is combined with the other flavours in the recipe, it is something that you will love having available.
Ingredients:
1/3 of a box of Vanilla wafers
2 boxes of instant banana cream pudding (3.4 oz)
Cool whip (8oz)
Yellow cake mix
Directions:
Prepare the yellow cake mix and bake in a 9×13 cake pan.
Make the 2 boxes of pudding (using 4 cups of milk) making sure the lumps are gone.
Once your cake has cooled for 5 minutes, use the end of a whisk or wooden spoon to poke holes in straight lines in the cake.
After 1-2 minutes, pour the pudding all over the top of the cake. Use a spatula and smooth it out so that the pudding falls into the holes. Spread evenly.
Put the cake in the refrigerator to completely cool for 30 minutes to an hour.
Spread cool whip over the whole cake.
Crush up the vanilla wafers in a baggie (we used a rolling pin) and pour over the cake when you are about to serve. If you do it prior, they won’t be as crunchy.
Top with fresh sliced banana pieces and serve!
