How to Make Cake Mix Doctor Banana Pudding Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with 24 cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 1 cup milk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute, then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  4. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Add 2 ripe, mashed bananas to the batter and mix until just combined.
  5. Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While cupcakes cool, prepare the pudding: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix and 2 cups milk.
  9. Stir in 2 tablespoons butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  10. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and the pudding is thickened (about 3-4 minutes).
  11. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup sliced ripe bananas.
  12. Once cupcakes are completely cool, spoon the banana pudding mixture over each cupcake, spreading evenly.
  13. Top with whipped topping and crushed vanilla wafer cookies.
  14. Serve at room temperature.
