Kellen's Banana Birthday Cake

Kellen turned 2 this year and told me he wanted a banana cake. I was so excited for this because it was a new adventure and this cake was amazing. It was like a cross between banana bread and banana cream pie. I will be making this again. soon.




Kellen's Banana Cake

1 box (18.25 Oz. Box) Duncan Hines White Cake Mix
¾ cups Water
¼ cups Oil
3 whole Eggs
¾ teaspoons Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
4 whole Very Ripe Mashed Bananas
1 pint Whip Cream
Powdered Sugar, To Taste
1 box (4.6 Oz. Box) Vanilla Cream Pudding, Cooked (Not instant, it doesn't set up as firm)
3 whole Bananas, Sliced, For Filling
¼ cups Chopped, Toasted Pecans

Mix together cake mix, water, oil, eggs, baking soda and baking powder. Mix for 2 minutes at medium speed. Add bananas and blend well. Bake in 2 or 3 greased and floured round cake pans, following baking recommendations on box until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on racks. Cake can be made the day ahead. Whip the whipping cream, sweeten very lightly with powdered sugar. For the filling, make one large box of cooked vanilla cream pudding mix according to directions on box. Let cool. Split the layers, putting pudding and remaining 3 bananas (sliced) into 2 layers, and the whipped cream in the others. Frost the whole cake with whipped cream and sprinkle chopped nuts on top.
