Ingredients
Banana Sheet Cake
- 1 box white cake mix {13.25 ounces}
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup milk {I used 2%}
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 3 medium ripe bananas {mashed}
Banana Pudding Frosting
- 1 cup milk {I used 2%}
- 1 box banana cream instant pudding mix {3.4 ounces}
- 1 cup whipped topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Banana Sheet Cake
- Combine the cake mix, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs and ripe bananas to the dry ingredients and mix together using a hand held mixer until well blended {1-2 minutes}.
- Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs {but no raw cake batter}. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
Banana Pudding Frosting
- To make the frosting combine the milk and instant pudding mix in a medium bowl. Mix together using a handheld mixer until combined. Add the whipped topping and fold it into the pudding until completely incorporated, being careful to not deflate the whipped topping.
- Pour the frosting onto the cooled cake and spread out into an even layer. Cut into 16 pieces and top with fresh banana slices right before serving {if desired}.
