I am finally at home with my daughter.  No more hospital for now.  To celebrate being home, I am sharing a banana layer cake recipe. 

This is a yummy cake recipe that I adapted from Your Home Based Mom.  After the success with the last banana pecan cake recipe I tried that used a cake mix, I wanted to try this variation.  The cake layers are filled with yummy fresh bananas and banana filling.  Then, it’s all topped off with whipped cream.  This banana layer cake is a light and delicious variation from the usually cream cheese frosting version.  Loved it.  YUMMY!

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

Cake:

• ▢ 4 very ripe mashed bananas
• ▢ 1 box white cake mix
• ▢ ¾ cup water
• ▢ ¼ cup oil
• ▢ 3 whole eggs
• ▢ ¾ tsp baking soda
• ▢ 1 tsp baking powder

Filling:

• ▢ 1 large box of cooked banana cream pudding not the instant
• ▢ 5 additional bananas

Frosting:

• ▢ 2 cups whipping cream
• ▢ 4 heaping Tablespoons powdered sugar
• ▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ▢ chopped walnuts

Instructions

 

• Mix all the cake ingredients except bananas for 2 minutes, medium speed.  Add bananas and blend well.
• Bake in 2 greased & floured round cake pans, following baking recommendations on box. Cool on racks. I made the cake the day before.
• Make pudding according to package directions.  I make it using the microwave directions.  If you do that, watch it on the last 2 minutes.  Min overflowed and made a mess in my microwave.  Let pudding cool
• Whip whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla.
• Split each cake round in half.  Place one cake on serving dish.  Spread with 1/3 of pudding mixture topped with banana slices.  Repeat with remaining cake, pudding, and bananas. Frost the whole outside of the cake with whip cream & sprinkle chopped walnuts on top.  I used banana slices on top of mine but think the walnuts would have been better.
