Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º
- Combine cake mix, eggs, oil, and milk. Beat batter for 2 minutes, until smooth, whisk in mashed banana.
- Pour batter into greased 9×13 inch cake pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes
- While the cake is cooling, slice bananas
- Poke holes all over the top of the cake about an inch apart with the handle of a wooden spoon, or something similar.
- Combine pudding mix with milk and beat for 2-3 minutes until somewhat thickened but not stiff. Immediately pour half of the pudding over the cake, spreading it out with a spoon to make sure it gets into the poke holes. Arrange sliced bananas over pudding, then top with remaining pudding.
- Whip cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread over cake. Top with 12 wafers, then crumble 2-3 more wafers to sprinkle over the cake
- Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours or until ready to serve.
