This cake does not last long in our house. In truth I think it's the icing that makes the cake, but the moist cake is fabulous too. It freezes great as well.

BANANA CAKE WITH PUDDING ICING
Easy, one-bowl cake with a divine icing. This is the ULTIMATE banana cake, great way to use ripe bananas, too. The icing makes a lot, but if you're like me, I'm lucky if half of it makes it onto the cake and not in my mouth/lol. Also, great to turn the cake onto a platter, so you can cover the sides with icing, too. If you like bananas, I GUARANTEEE you will LOVE this cake!!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
- Mix together eggs, mashed banana, water, evaporated milk, sour cream, and oil in a large bowl. Stir in cake mix, then sugar and brown sugar, then pudding mix. Mix to thoroughly incorporate all ingredients; pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 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 cake is cooling, combine butter and cream for icing in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; beat on medium speed until combined. Increase speed to high and mix, stopping to scrape down the sides once or twice, until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Mix in cocoa powder and vanilla. Add confectioners' sugar gradually on low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium and whip for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Spread icing on the cooled cake, or store in the refrigerator until cake is fully cooled.

Tips:

- Make sure the pudding is cold before using it: This will help the icing to set properly.
- Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will create a smooth and creamy icing.
- Add the pudding and vanilla extract and beat until well combined: Be careful not to overbeat, or the icing will become too thin.
- Use the icing immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use: If you are storing the icing, be sure to bring it to room temperature before using.
