Instructions
Making the Cake
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add the mashed banana, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Add the eggs and mix until incorporated.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife along the edges of the cake to loosen it from the pan and invert onto a wire cooling rack. Cool completely before adding the filling and frosting.
Making the Banana Pudding Filling
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk together until it is a smooth paste.
Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly, until the mixture is smooth and thick. Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and mashed banana and mix until combined.
If using banana liqueur, add it now and mix until combined. Remove from heat and let cool completely before using.
Making the Whipped Cream Frosting
In a large bowl, add the heavy cream and powdered sugar. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Assembling the Cake
Once the cake is cooled, cut it in half horizontally to form two layers. Place one layer on a serving plate. Spread the banana pudding filling over the cake layer.
Place the other cake layer on top of the filling and spread the whipped cream frosting over the top and sides.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!
