Banana Pudding Poke Cake (light)

WANT TO SAVE THIS RECIPE?

A quick, easy and light cake is what I was looking for today. And here it is. My banana pudding poke cake.

I had some banana pudding left over and found it too boring to just eat it out of a bowl.

So I made yellow cake from scratch and used the pudding to make a poke cake. Life can sometimes be so simple.
You can also use a store-bought yellow cake mix, I just prefer to make it from scratch.

It also works of course with any other instant pudding you might have at home.

You don’t always have to buy everything just because a recipe says so. Take the basics, use what you have at home and create your own style! I hope you have fun with this one!

What you need:

For the Cake Part:

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• ½ cup (1 stick) butter
• 1 cup milk
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• pinch of salt
• 3 eggs (or 2 eggs + 2 egg whites for a lighter version)
