Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
6 (about 3 cups mashed) very ripe bananas (mashed)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
1 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs (at room temperature and lightly beaten)
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 (3.4-ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
1 (3.4-ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
3-4 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping (Thawed)
2 bananas (sliced)
2 cups vanilla wafers (lightly crushed)
12-14 whole vanilla wafers

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 3-9 inch round cake pans with parchment paper and spray with nonstick Bakers Spray.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt to combine. Set aside.
  • In a separate medium mixing bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, mix the banana, sugar, and brown sugar until combined.
  • Add oil, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla and mix until combined and the mixture is smooth.
  • With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and mix, just until flour disappears into the batter (do not overmix).
  • Pour batter evenly into prepared pans. Bake 30- 38 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, turn out onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, mix together the pudding mix and cream cheese until smooth. With the mixer set on low, gradually add the cream and beat until the mixture is very thick.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat the butter until it's light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the pudding mix and beat until combined.
  • With the mixer on low, gradually add half the powdered sugar. Beat until well combined and the mixture is smooth. Add more powdered sugar as needed to achieve desired spreadable consistency.
  • Fold in thawed frozen whipped topping until evenly mixed.
  • Pipe a border of frosting around the edges of 2 of the layer cakes.
  • Top the cakes with a thin layer of sliced bananas within the border of frosting.
  • Divide the pudding filling in half, and pipe or spread 1/2 the pudding mixture within the frosting border, on the 2 layers.
  • Sprinkle with about 3/4 cup lightly crushed Vanilla Wafers. Gently press into filling.
  • Stack the 2 cakes on top of each other, then top with the third cake.
  • Spread a thin layer of the frosting over sides and top of the cake. Refrigerate until frosting has set a bit, about 20 minutes.
  • Press a border of whole Vanilla Wafers around the base of the bottom cake then sprinkle the top layer with lightly crushed Vanilla Wafers. Refrigerate cake for a minimum of 1 hour to firm and set. Serve cake.

  • While cake is baking, whisk the filling ingredients together and then refrigerate until needed.
  • Next, make the frosting by adding butter and sugar one cup at a time to a mixing bowl and cream together. Then add egg whites, whipping cream, vanilla beans (if using) or vanilla extract, salt, and lemon juice. Continue beating until fluffy and then set aside.
  • When the cakes are done, place them on a cooling rack for 10 minutes then turn over and let them continue to cool face down. When cool remove the parchment paper.
  • Place vanilla wafers in a zip lock bag and crush with a rolling pin, then set aside to use as garnish when frosting the cake.
  • Place one cake on a cake plate and begin to create the filling layers as follows:step 1: use a pastry brush to coat the top of the cake with a thin layer of milk brush mixture.step 2: add a layer of vanilla wafer cookies.step 3: spoon on and smooth out a layer of pudding filling.step 4: add one layer of banana slices. Place the second cake on top and then repeat the four layering steps. Then top with the third cake round, leaving it dry and ready to frost.
  • Frost the entire cake evenly and then pat with crushed vanilla wafers along the bottom 3" of cake and the top of the cake. Create dollops of frosting along the top edge using a piping bag.

BANANA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING



Banana Cake with Chocolate Frosting image

I always requested banana cake with fudge frosting for my birthday. Mom's recipe is attached to my fridge-and my heart. It's funny how many memories live on in a stained handwritten recipe card. On a more practical note: It's important to make sure the whipped cream cheese is truly at room temperature before you use it. If not, it chills the softened butter and makes for lumpy frosting. -Jeanne Ambrose, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

BANANA CAKE WITH PUDDING ICING



Banana Cake With Pudding Icing image

Easy, one-bowl cake with a divine icing. This is the ULTIMATE banana cake, great way to use ripe bananas, too. The icing makes a lot, but if you're like me, I'm lucky if half of it makes it onto the cake and not in my mouth/lol. Also, great to turn the cake onto a platter, so you can cover the sides with icing, too. If you like bananas, I GUARANTEEE you will LOVE this cake!!

Provided by KeshaS

Categories     Chocolate Cake

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (15.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix (such as Duncan Hines®)
1 ¼ cups water
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (8 ounce) container frozen chocolate whipped topping, thawed
2 ½ cups milk, divided
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant banana cream pudding mix
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
5 medium bananas, sliced
½ (11 ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies (such as Nilla®)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Mix cake mix, water, eggs, and oil until smooth. Pour 1/2 of the mixture into each prepared cake pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
  • While the cake layers are cooling, combine whipped topping, 1 cup milk, powdered sugar, 1/2 of the banana cream pudding mix, and 1/2 of the chocolate pudding mix in a bowl; mix until thoroughly combined. Mix remaining 1 1/2 cups milk and banana cream pudding mix in another bowl until smooth. Place both bowls in the refrigerator for at least 5 minutes. Save remaining chocolate pudding mix for another use.
  • Slice the tops of the cooled cake layers to make them level. Place one layer on a serving platter. Top with a single layer of banana slices arranged in a circular pattern, completely covering the cake. Spread a 1/4-inch layer of banana cream pudding on top, then repeat with another circular layer of banana slices.
  • Place the second cake layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the whipped topping mixture.
  • Decorate cake as desired with vanilla wafer cookies and remaining banana slices. I like to stand cookies around the cake bottom, top the cake with bananas, and sprinkle crushed cookies over top. Slice and enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.
