How to Make Banana Cake With Homemade Pudding Icing
- **Make the Cake:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with ¼ cup milk.
- Add the mashed banana mixture to the creamed mixture and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- **Make the Icing:** In a medium saucepan, whisk together ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 2 cups milk, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- In a large bowl, beat ½ cup (1 stick) softened margarine and ½ cup shortening until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the cooled pudding mixture to the whipped margarine and shortening, beating until smooth and fluffy.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
- Frost the cooled cake with the pudding icing and enjoy!
