BANANA PUDDING POKE CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray deep 13x9 baking dish with baking spray, or grease and flour. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat cake mix with bananas, water, and vegetable oil for 2 minutes. Add eggs and beat an additional two minutes.
• Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove and cool for 15 minutes.
• Using the handle of a wooden spoon, or a meat thermometer, poke holes all over the cake.
• In a bowl, whisk together the milk with banana pudding mix. Allow to sit two minutes until it begins to slightly thicken. Pour half over the warm cake, waiting a minute or two until it seeps into the holes (use an offset spatula to help). Then slowly pour the remaining pudding over the top, being careful not to let it run over the sides of the pan. (The cake will slowly absorb some of the pudding mix and soften down).
• Refrigerate cake 4 hours or overnight. When ready to serve, spread Cool Whip over the top and add crushed cookies.

PUDDING POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions for one 9x13 inch cake. Remove cake from oven. Poke holes at once down through cake to pan with the round handle of a wooden spoon. Holes should be at 1 inch intervals.
• Combine the pudding mix with the confectioners' sugar and gradually stir in the milk. Beat with an electric mixer at low speed for not more than 1 minute. Do not over beat. Quickly, before pudding thickens, pour about 1/2 of the thin pudding evenly over the warm cake and into the holes. (This will make the stripes in the cake.) Allow the remaining pudding to thicken slightly then spoon over the top, and spread to frost the top of the cake. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
