I came up with this as an alternative to bring the same banana pudding to a family gathering when the kids were wanting chocolate cake. Every time I make it there is never any left. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Provided by KeshaS

Categories     Chocolate Cake

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (15.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix (such as Duncan Hines®)
1 ¼ cups water
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (8 ounce) container frozen chocolate whipped topping, thawed
2 ½ cups milk, divided
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant banana cream pudding mix
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
5 medium bananas, sliced
½ (11 ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies (such as Nilla®)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Mix cake mix, water, eggs, and oil until smooth. Pour 1/2 of the mixture into each prepared cake pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
  • While the cake layers are cooling, combine whipped topping, 1 cup milk, powdered sugar, 1/2 of the banana cream pudding mix, and 1/2 of the chocolate pudding mix in a bowl; mix until thoroughly combined. Mix remaining 1 1/2 cups milk and banana cream pudding mix in another bowl until smooth. Place both bowls in the refrigerator for at least 5 minutes. Save remaining chocolate pudding mix for another use.
  • Slice the tops of the cooled cake layers to make them level. Place one layer on a serving platter. Top with a single layer of banana slices arranged in a circular pattern, completely covering the cake. Spread a 1/4-inch layer of banana cream pudding on top, then repeat with another circular layer of banana slices.
  • Place the second cake layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the whipped topping mixture.
  • Decorate cake as desired with vanilla wafer cookies and remaining banana slices. I like to stand cookies around the cake bottom, top the cake with bananas, and sprinkle crushed cookies over top. Slice and enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.

HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE-BANANA PUDDING



Homemade Chocolate-Banana Pudding image

My family, from East Texas, only made banana pudding with chocolate pudding. I did not taste it made with vanilla pudding until after I got married. I converted my wife!

Provided by rnneal

Time 35m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups whole milk
4 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate
1 ½ cups white sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
4 large egg yolks, beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (11 ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies
3 medium bananas, sliced, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine milk and chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted and mixture is hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix sugar, flour, and salt together in a bowl. Add some of the hot liquid to the dry ingredients; mix well. Pour dry ingredients into the double boiler and stir well. Cover and cook over a rolling boil, stirring often, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
  • Pour some of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks, whisking quickly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Pour the mixture back into the double boiler and whisk to combine. Whisk in butter and vanilla.
