I tried a recipe that I found on Pinterest this weekend.
It was super easy to make and not bad tasting.
It was a Banana Poke cake.
You don't need that many ingredients...
Yellow cake (and the ingredients to make it)
Just follow the directions on the box for the actual cake.
Cook it in a 9 x 13 and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
Poke holes in the cake with whatever you have handy.
Make your instant pudding following directions on the box.
Let it stand for 1-2 minutes more,
then pour it on the cake making sure to push the pudding in the holes.
* note:
It didn't saturate into the cake as much as I would have like,
maybe using a turkey baster or something to
funnel it into the holes would work better.
When you are done with the pudding it should look something like this.
Refridgerate for about an hour,
or however long it takes to make the pudding set.
After refrigerating, spread whip cream from the tub on top.
This is what it looks like from the side.
Take Nilla Wafters and put them in a baggie and crush.
Be sure to leave some bigger pieces for some texture.
Add crushed Nillas and banana slices on top.
I probably wouldn't add the nillas or bananas until you are ready to serve.
If you add the Nillas too early, they could get soft and mushy,
and if you serve the bananas too early, they could turn brown.
There are several variations that you can do using this same idea:
The options seem to be endless.
Overall opinion in this household...
2 1/2 thumbs up
(Lexx liked everything but the banana pudding- she doesn't like banana much).
It's definitely worth trying.
Have you ever made this?
What type have you made?
