ingredients

³⁄₄ cup butter, softened
1 ¹⁄₂ cups sugar
3 large eggs
2 cups mashed ripe bananas
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¹⁄₄ cups all-purpose flour
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons baking powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon baking soda
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ cup whlle buttermilk, plus
2 tablespoons whole buttermilk
1 (3 1/2 ounce) box banana cream instant pudding
2 cups milk
1 (12 ounce) container frozen non-dairy topping, thawed
grated chocolate, for garnish

directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease and flour a 13x9-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in bananas and vanilla.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 35 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Let cool for 10 minutes. With the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes halfway through cake in half-inch intervals.
In a medium bowl, combine pudding mix and milk. Whisk until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour over top of cake. Loosely cover cake and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
Spread whipped topping over top of cake; sprinkle with grated chocolate, if desired. Cut into squares to serve.
Paula's Pointers:
•Use very ripe bananas for best flavor.
•Be sure to allow chilling time after topped with pudding--it needs at least 2 hours to set.
•Allow frozen nondairy whipped topping to thaw in refrigerator overnight before using. That ensures it will spread smoothly over cake.

This cake is my new religion. I made this intending to share it and instead horded it like it was gold and I was a miser.

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7. I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
