Prepare the Cake Batter:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13×9 inch cake pan to ensure your cake releases easily after baking. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix with 4 large eggs, one box of instant banana pudding mix, and 1 cup of milk. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well combined. -
Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown and set. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. -
Make the Frosting:
While the cake cools, prepare the frosting. In a small mixing bowl, combine one box of instant banana pudding mix with 1 cup of milk. Whisk until the mixture thickens. Gently fold in 1 tub (8 oz) of Cool Whip until well combined and fluffy. -
Frost the Cake:
Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the banana cream frosting evenly over the top. For best results, chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together and the frosting to set.
Serving Suggestions:
This Banana Cream Cake is perfect as a sweet treat for any gathering. Serve chilled for a refreshing dessert that pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a fun twist, consider experimenting with other pudding flavors like pistachio or lemon to create your own variations of this delightful cake!
