How to Make Banana Cake With Pudding Icing

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas. Add sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  8. While the cake cools, prepare the icing: In a medium bowl, beat together the pudding mix, milk, and butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
  9. Once the cake is completely cool, frost generously, covering the top and sides.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the icing to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
