Ingredients

• 4 cups milk
• 2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant banana pudding mix

• 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Combine cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a bowl until just moistened; pour batter into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 34 to 38 minutes. Cool cake in the baking dish for 2 to 3 minutes. Poke several holes into the cake, using the handle of a wooden spoon, being sure to poke through to bottom of cake.

Step 4

Combine milk and pudding mix in a separate bowl until smooth; rest until begins to thicken slightly, but pudding not fully set, about 2 minutes. Pour pudding over cake; spread evenly, making sure to fill each hole completely. Chill in the refrigerator until cake cooled and pudding set, about 2 hours.

Step 5

Spread whipped topping over cake; sprinkle with crushed vanilla wafers just before serving.
