Banana Pudding Poke Cake
Banana Pudding Poke Cake is such a luxurious and creamy cake, that all the banana lovers will go crazy for it! I am a huge fan of poke cakes, and while I had my fair share of poke cakes, I can probably safely say that this one is my top favorite. This cake has such a perfect light texture, that it almost feels like a creamy cloud of banana pudding and sweet whipped cream.
The Banana Pudding Poke Cake is also one of the easiest cakes you can make. A yellow cake that has been poked and soaked with banana pudding, topped with fresh banana slices, Nilla wafers and a thick layer of whipped cream! The cake melts in your mouth and it has the most amazing banana flavor.
Best Banana Pudding Poke Cake Recipe Tips:
- Using a cake mix will reduce the prep time. You can use the Yellow Cake mix or White Cake mix. However, if you want to add some fun, a Funfetti Cake mix will work too.
- Bananas must be ripe, but not very brown for this recipe.
- Let the cake chill for at least 8 hours in the fridge before serving, this will make the cake extra tender.
- Keep the cake refrigerated because the frosting will soften if kept at room temperature for too long.
- For more texture, you can add one 1/2 cup of finely chopped pecans or walnuts into the cake.
- You can use either vanilla pudding or banana pudding, I like using banana pudding for extra banana flavor.
- Clean the knife after each cut. Otherwise, the slices will be messier, since the frosting may stick to the knife.
- Don’t have Nilla Wafers? Even vanilla-flavored animal crackers will work.
HOW TO FREEZE THE BANANA PUDDING POKE CAKE?
- If freezing the cake without adding the frosting, then first wait for the cake layer to cool completely. Fully wrap in plastic wrap tightly. Next, wrap in aluminum foil or place it in freezer bags.
- If freezing a frosted cake, first place cake in the fridge, so the frosting isn’t too soft. Fully wrap the cake in plastic wrap tightly. Next, wrap in aluminum foil or place it in freezer bags. Freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost before slicing.
