Step 1

Follow the package directions and bake a yellow cake in a 9x13 pan. Once slightly cooled (about 15 minutes) poke holes throughout the cake using a small-diameter wooden spoon. Note: you want a little space between each hole and go the full depth of the cake without pushing too hard on the bottom.

Step 2

Start your pudding by mixing 2 packages in a large bowl with 4 cups of milk with either a whisk or hand-mixer for 2 minutes.

Step 3

Pour pudding evenly over top of the cake, ensuring to fill all the holes then refrigerate for a couple hours to set.

Step 4

Remove from the fridge, and place banana slices evenly on the top of the cake, then spread Cool Whip over top.

Step 5

Garnish with crushed vanilla wafers and or sliced bananas.
