Description

Take a store bought box cake mix and take it to a new level with a few extra ingredients. It's the perfect dessert for large gatherings, parties, reunions or potlucks.

Ingredients

• 15 oz. box butter yellow cake mix
• ingredients called for on box (usually eggs, oil, water)
• 2 boxes instant banana cream or vanilla pudding mix
• 2 1/2 c. cold whole milk
• 1 c. sweetened condensed milk
• 4 large ripe bananas, thinly sliced
• 25 Nilla Wafers (8 crushed, 17 remaining whole)
• 2 c. heavy whipping cream
• 3 T. powdered sugar
• 1 t. pure vanilla extract
• toasted coconut flakes, for optional garnish
• white chocolate shavings, for optional garnish

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9x13" baking dish.
2. Prepare the cake batter as instructed on the box. Pour the batter into the dish. Bake for 23–25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool completely.
3. Use the handle end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake, going deep, but not all the way through to the bottom.
