This recipe for Strawberry Banana Pudding Cake is an easy recipe made with rich banana pudding and fresh strawberries.
This week, I thought I'd share one of my new favorite cake mix poke cake recipes!
I actually let my daughter decide what kind of cake we'd have for her little brother's first birthday (because...well...he's 1). She immediately said strawberry - the girl loves a good piece of strawberry cake! Since I've mentioned before that Jackson is addicted to bananas, I thought I'd step this strawberry cake up a notch.
The flavors blended perfectly. It was a really light cake that would be great for spring or summer! Trust me, it's super easy and will make everyone think you worked on it all day. You've got to give this one a try!
Here's the recipe...
Ingredients
1 box strawberry cake mix
4 eggs
1 stick butter, melted
1 cup milk
2 3.9oz packs banana pudding mix
4 cups milk
1 jar cream cheese frosting
4 bananas
1 pint strawberries

you didn't say if pudding was instant or cook n serve
Sorry about that, it's instant!
Do you think this will turn out if I use an egg replacement?
That should work! Check the box of egg replacement for the equivalent amounts (I think 1 egg usually = 1/4 cup).
How much does this make? I have to make one for 100 people
This one usually gives me 16-20 servings.
I had to take a guess on what size pudding boxes to use. These days they coming in about three different sizes and kinds. So next time see what size boxes were supposed to use to be really helpful.
Just updated that - thanks for the recommendation!
Need to know what size pudding to use.
Hi Donna! You'll use 2 3.9oz packs for this recipe.
How do you keep the banana slices from turning brown?
Thank you
Hi Betty! I like to toss my banana slices in a little bit of lemon juice before putting them on the cake. This will keep them from browning for a few extra hours.
