BANANA PUDDING CAKE

-

This recipe is by Duncan Hines with their new Dolly Parton Collection. My daughter-in-law Jaime loves banana pudding pie and I couldn't wait to make this special  for her! It was moist flavorful and not overly banana flavor!





PAM® Baking Spray 

1 pkg (15.25 oz each) Duncan Hines® Dolly Parton's Southern Style Banana Cake Mix 1 cup milk 
4 eggs 
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 
1 pkg (3.4 oz each) vanilla or banana instant pudding mix, divided use 
1 cup milk 
1 cup cold heavy (whipping) cream 
1/3 cup Duncan Hines® Dolly Parton's Creamy Buttercream Frosting 
1 large banana, thinly sliced (24 slices) 
18 vanilla wafers

STEP ONE 
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray two 8-inch round pans with baking spray. 

STEP TWO Blend cake mix, 1 cup milk, eggs, melted butter and 3 tablespoons pudding mix in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened, about 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes. 

STEP THREE 
Divide batter evenly into pans. Bake 26 to 30 minutes, until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool on wire rack 15 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely. 

STEP FOUR PUDDING FILLING: 
Pour remaining pudding mix into a small bowl. Whisk in 1 cup cold milk and let stand for about a minute, until it is very thick.  

STEP FIVE FROSTING: In a medium bowl, whip heavy cream using handheld mixer on high speed for 3 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Add buttercream frosting and mix on low speed an additional 10 seconds or until fully combined. 

STEP SIX Place one cooled cake layer on serving plate. Spread pudding filling evenly over cake. Top with 12 slices of banana. Crush 6 vanilla wafer cookies and sprinkle over bananas and pudding. 

STEP SEVEN Top with second cake layer and press gently to secure. Frost entire cake with whipped cream frosting. Decorate the top of the cake with additional frosting, banana slices and vanilla wafer cookies. Refrigerate 15 minutes. Slice your banana pudding cake and serve! 

If you don't want to make fresh whipped cream, this cake tastes great if you just frost with entire container of buttercream frosting!

We made this for dinner tonight and Kevin kept raving about the smoky flavor to it and suddenly stated you need to blog this (which I already intended to). After he went back for his final last bite finally packed up the leftovers for his lunch tomorrow. We will be making this again ... and again!     6 slices Bacon 2 cloves Garlic (thinly sliced) 1 can Tomato Paste 1/4 cup Vodka 1/2 cup Heavy Cream Pinch Nutmeg 1 pound Penne 1 piece Parmigiano Reggiano (for grating)   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook penne 1 minute short of the package instructions. Drain, reserving some pasta water for sauce. In a large saute pan, cook bacon over medium heat to render out fat. Cook for about 10 minutes until cooked but not too crispy. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook until garlic is fragrant and tomato paste darkens Stir in the vodka and cook for a few minutes to meld the flavors. Add cream and season with nutmeg and salt to taste. ...
