Cake: Banana Flips

By NicoleS

I used vanilla pudding and extract. Filling was a little grainy, maybe try pulsing the sugar in the food processor to make it finer before creating the filling. Made the recipe in a single sheet pan. The kids and Michael enjoyed them.

Ingredients

• 1 package yellow cake mix (18.25 ounce size)
• 1 small box instant banana pudding mix (4.5 cups serving size)
• 4 eggs
• 1-1/2 milk
• 1-1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup butter (softened)
• 3/4 cup shortening
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1-1/2 teaspoon banana extract
• powdered sugar for garnish (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 - 9x13 inch pans.
2.In a large bowl, stir together the cake mix and instant pudding. Beat in the eggs and 1 1/2 cup of milk. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans.
3.Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. While the cake is baking, make the filling.
4.Stir together the sugar and flour. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, shortening and sugar mixture. Beat in the milk and banana extract until smooth.
5.When the cake is cooled, invert onto a serving tray. Spread filling over the top and cover with remaining layer of cake. Chill.
