This Banana Pudding Cake is so easy you’ll want to make it for every event! Jazz up a yellow cake mix with some ripe bananas, add some instant banana pudding, Cool Whip and Nilla Wafers and you’ll be off to the ball! And yes, it tastes as good as it looks. AND (even better) it cuts really well too! Just pop it into the fridge to keep i cold unit you serve it so it keeps it’s shape and is easy to cut and serve 🙂
The Story:
Trifles sort of scare me.
Personal/mini-sized trifles are fine and I think the big ones are beautiful, but unless I’m the first one to dive in, I just don’t know if I trust them. Everything gets mixed together and covered in pudding and whipped cream and I just can’t tell what’s what anymore. So when my brother’s girlfriend (now wife) brought a trifle to Thanksgiving a few years ago, I desperately wanted to try it but the trifling fear inside of me was just too great. It was a banana pudding trifle with Nilla Wafers and banana slices. I still think about hat trifle all the time… so I made a version I was a little less afraid of 🙂

This very special dating site I’d like to suggest because you can’t name it any other way. I’ve always lived alone and I couldn’t believe I’d ever live with someone. I’m not lonely anymore because of such a wonderful service! In my life new colours, new colours! For more than a year I and my moldovan women for marriage have been together, we still love one another, and we won’t end there, but we’re just making headway! Thank you so much for helping my girlfriend locate this place.
