hello everyone welcome back today I am
0:03
going to make my husband real happy I'm
0:06
going to make him a banana pudding poke
0:08
cake he loves banana pudding but I'm
0:11
going to put it on another layer he's he
0:14
can't wait for this one right a banana
0:17
pudding he it's got the bananas we got
0:19
the pudding we've got the Wafers we've
0:21
got Whi topping we've also got cake mixs
0:25
now this is a classic cake mix just
0:28
comes in a box this one is15 .25 o size
0:32
we are going to make it per the
0:34
directions on the back of the package
0:36
now you know me I'm going to make it
0:38
Bakery style if your cake mix is more or
0:44
less in ounces than this one here just
0:47
make it for the instructions on the back
0:48
of your cake mix okay and that'll suit
0:51
it just fine okay so we're going to take
0:54
our cake mix we're going to put it into
0:56
a large
0:58
bowl get busy with this
1:02
cake there we go now if you want to use
1:06
a banana cake mix you can but that's a
1:09
lot of banana flavoring and we've got
1:12
plenty going into the cake okay to that
1:14
we're going to add in three
1:19
eggs now I'll just let these sit to room
1:23
temperature
1:26
one I don't have many hands today
1:31
two and
1:35
three now a bakery style cake they have
1:38
you putting in four four eggs but since
1:41
we've got a lot of toppings going on top
1:43
the four eggs will really puff up the
1:45
cake and you just won't have room in
1:48
your 9 by3 which is what we're going to
1:50
cook it in today there we go all right
1:52
there's my other
1:53
hand okay we got one cup of milk going
1:57
in now on the back of the package it
1:59
generally says say one cup of
2:02
water but I'm Bakery styling it there we
2:05
go cuz a lot of people don't know what
2:07
Bakery Style mean so I'm showing you
2:09
right now and
2:12
then it asks for half a cup of vegetable
2:16
oil but I do half a cup of melted butter
2:18
which is one stick now when you add this
2:21
make sure you cool it down first just a
2:23
little bit so you don't scramble your
2:24
eggs with hot butter okay so we're going
2:28
to add that in
2:31
we're going to take our electric hand
2:32
mixer or you can take a whisk or your
2:34
fork or a wooden spoon beat this up
2:37
until it's nice and smooth this
2:39
generally takes about 2
2:41
[Music]
2:44
minutes I'm going to start on the low
2:46
setting for just a second and then I'll
2:48
ramp it up to the medium that way we
2:50
don't have cake mix going everywhere
2:52
there we go I'll see y'all in two
2:56
minutes about halfway through
3:01
take your
3:02
spatula pull down the sides so that we
3:05
can get everything
3:06
Incorporated and then we will finish
3:16
mixing all right look at how nice and
3:17
fluffy that is we're going to be baking
3:20
the cake in a 9 by3 baking dish I'm
3:23
going to spray it with some non-stick
3:24
cooking spray now I like the baker's Joy
3:28
because it has a little flour in it and
3:29
keep the cake it'll help the cake
3:32
release from the baking
3:35
dish okay we're going to take the cake
3:38
mix place it into our baking dish that
3:40
we've just prepared see how fluffy that
3:44
is it's going to have great flavor too
3:47
with the butter and the
3:51
milk we're just going to smooth it out
3:54
nice and even so it Cooks nice and even
3:56
because this is a thick batter
4:00
I'm just going to wipe off the edges
4:02
here that has the spray on
4:05
it we're going to bake this in our
4:07
preheated oven at 350° now I'm going to
4:10
bake it for the directions on the back
4:12
of my cake mix box for a
4:15
9x13 and that is going to take me about
4:18
23 to 28 minutes you want to make sure
4:20
that your cake pulls away from the edges
4:22
just a little bit it's golden brown take
4:24
a toothpick put it in the center of the
4:26
cake it should come out clean I'll be
4:29
back okay I've pulled the cake out of
4:31
the oven now I'm going to take the back
4:33
end of a kitchen utensils kind of like a
4:36
wooden spoon where it's got to have big
4:38
surface there and we're going to poke
4:41
holes all through the cake while it just
4:43
came out of the
4:56
oven there we go we're going to set the
4:59
aside to let it cool just a little bit
5:02
while we make the mixture for the inside
5:04
of this we're going to bring over a
5:06
large mixing bowl three and 1/2 cups of
5:09
cold
5:11
milk and then one package of Jello-O
5:15
banana cream flavored pudding mix you
5:18
want the instant this is 5.1 o size they
5:23
consider this the family
5:25
size so we'll put both of these into a
5:27
large mixing bowl
5:36
now this is where we're going to get
5:36
some of that banana flavor
5:43
from now follow my instructions not the
5:46
instructions on the back of the box here
5:50
cuz we're adding a little extra milk now
5:52
I'm going to take my whisk attachment on
5:54
my electric hand mixer and we're going
5:56
to mix this until we get a loose pudding
5:58
consistency you don't want it too thick
6:01
or we won't be able to pour it on top of
6:02
our cake and get it into those holes 2
6:11
minutes all right let's
6:13
see that's what we're looking for all
6:16
right let's bring our cake back over I
6:19
think somebody wants to try it what do
6:21
you think tastes like banana it does it
6:23
smells like banana
6:25
too now I'm using a big bowl that has a
6:27
spout to it that way we can easily pour
6:29
pour into the holes of our cake and
6:32
we're only going to pour half of this
6:34
into the holes and then I'm going to
6:36
show you what we're going to do with the
6:37
rest of
6:46
it now the pudding should be a little
6:48
thicker now because it's been sitting so
6:51
I'm just going to pour it right on
6:57
top I think I'll think I'll say the rest
7:00
for Thomas is there enough in there no
7:03
no I'm just going to spread this
7:08
out there we go I'll save that for
7:11
Thomas too we're going to take the
7:14
bananas I have here we're going to peel
7:17
it now if you peel from the back end it
7:20
should peel the skins with it so you
7:23
don't have the
7:24
strings we're going to slice these very
7:27
thin
7:38
all right now we're going to create a
7:39
layer on top of the
7:42
pudding Thomas and I have made a lot of
7:45
banana pudding
7:47
recipes and when we saw that we can do
7:49
it in cake form we had to give it a
7:58
try okay
8:00
there we go we're going to take an 8 oz
8:02
container of Cool Whip you find this in
8:05
your Frozen aisle you want to thaw it
8:08
out or you can make your own Whi topping
8:11
we're going to dollop it all over and
8:13
then smooth it out on top of those
8:16
bananas I'm using an offset spatula
8:18
y'all this is a great tool to have in
8:20
your kitchen it helps smooth things out
8:24
evenly it's much better than a
8:28
spatula I think that's good we're going
8:31
to take the best part of a banana
8:33
pudding right vanilla
8:37
wafers my husband's favorite
8:40
anyway heck
8:43
yeah all right we're going to open these
8:45
up now I'm only going to put half of
8:47
them into a Ziploc
8:49
bag oh they smell good do you need some
8:53
help sure come on over here and help
8:57
[Laughter]
9:00

9:03
half oh come on a little bit more there
9:07

9:13
right he loves those cookies I'm going
9:16
to close the ziplock bag we're going to
9:18
crush these
9:22
up now don't crush them up into a fine
9:25
crumb okay we want some pieces of cookie
9:27
on there so we're just going to break
9:28
them up
9:30
okay that's what we're looking at right
9:32

9:39
it and I'm going to Mound them
9:44
up doesn't that look
9:51
good there we go doesn't that look
9:55

9:59
sad to say sad to say it's sad to say
10:04
this is going to go in the refrigerator
10:06
it's got to set up for at least 4 hours
10:10
to
10:11
overnight you want that pudding to be
10:14
able to absorb into the cake and not be
10:16
liquidy down there at the bottom of your
10:18
dish okay you want it all up in there
10:21
