This was yummy! I used whipped chocolate frosting instead of making my the cream cheese it was like eating chocolate dipped bananas. -
I LOVED this cake! So YUMMY-thanks!! -
I made this cake for my son's 2nd birthday, and it was a hit! I am not crazy about the banana instant pudding flavor, but everyone else loved it. Thanks for making my son's birthday cake a smash! Oh, I didn't use the frosting recipe, so that might have helped me like the cake better.
