What’s in Banana Poke Cake with Pudding

You only need 6 ingredients to make this banana cake recipe!

• Yellow Cake Mix: Grab your favorite brand for this easy cake mix recipe! Betty Crocker is usually my go-to, but any other box will also work.
• Water
• Vegetable Oil: This is what gives the cake its moisture.
• Eggs: I prefer to use free-range organic eggs when I can.
• Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix: Any brand will do the trick.
• Milk: Whole milk always yields the best consistency for instant pudding.
• Bananas: Add more or less depending on how much banana flavor you’re craving!
• Cool Whip: Make sure it’s fully thawed from frozen prior to using.
• Vanilla Wafer Cookies: Nilla Wafers is the most classic cookie to use here, but you can feel free to grab another brand if you’d prefer.
  

PRO TIP: Make sure the cake is fully cooled before adding the pudding and cream topping.
