Ingredients
Yellow Cake Mix (15.25 oz box)
3 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water (or milk)
2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant banana pudding mix
3 cups cold milk
1 (8 oz) thawed whipped topping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare 13×9 inch baking dish.
Combine cake mix, eggs, oil, and water/milk in bowl. Mix until smooth.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 30-35 minutes until golden.
Let cake cool slightly, then poke holes using wood skewers.
Mix pudding with 2 1/2 cups cold milk in bowl (save 1/2 cup milk for later).
Poke holes are spooned with pudding mixture until absorbed.
Stir remaining 1/2 cup milk with a splash of vanilla to create custard-like sauce.
Spread custard over top of cake, let sit 5 minutes until firm.
Top with whipped topping, gently press to seal holes.
Chill 1 hour before serving. Slice and serve.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs for better mixing
Water can be substituted with milk for richer flavor
Add sliced bananas and mini marshmallows on top for classic layering
Chill longer for firmer texture
Cake can be prepared a day ahead
