These individual-sized treats offer a delightful combination of moist banana cake, creamy vanilla pudding, and fluffy whipped cream, all nestled in a delicate cupcake liner. Each bite promises a burst of sweet banana and smooth vanilla, complemented by the velvety texture of the whipped cream. Perfect for any occasion, these cupcakes are not only a visual masterpiece but also a flavor sensation that will leave you craving more.

The journey to creating these scrumptious cupcakes begins with the Banana Cake base. A symphony of ripe bananas, sugar, butter, eggs, and flour come together to form a moist and flavorful foundation. The addition of cinnamon and nutmeg adds a warm and inviting aroma, while vanilla extract enhances the overall sweetness. Once baked, the cupcakes are crowned with a luscious Vanilla Pudding filling. This creamy delight is made with milk, sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, and vanilla extract, resulting in a velvety smooth and rich custard.

The pièce de résistance of these cupcakes is the generous topping of Whipped Cream. Heavy cream is whipped until stiff peaks form, creating a light and airy cloud that perfectly complements the dense cake and creamy pudding. To complete the classic banana cream pie experience, a garnish of fresh banana slices adds a pop of color and a burst of fruity flavor.

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups milk
1 (3.5 ounce) package instant banana pudding mix
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup confectioners' sugar
1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
¾ cup light brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
⅔ cup plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Combine milk, banana pudding mix, and vanilla extract in a bowl and mix until smooth. Refrigerate banana filling at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Combine milk, vanilla pudding mix, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whisk in confectioners' sugar. Fold in whipped topping until no streaks remain. Refrigerate frosting for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • While filling and frosting are chilling, prepare the cupcake batter. Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
  • Cream white sugar, brown sugar, and butter together in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla extract. Alternate adding flour mixture, mashed bananas, and yogurt. Mix on low speed until just moistened; batter may be lumpy, but do not overmix. Fill 24 muffin cups 3/4 full with batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 17 to 20 minutes. Place on a rack to cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
  • Use a paring knife to cut a small circle out of the top of each cooled cupcake. Fill with banana filling. Top each cupcake with vanilla frosting.
