Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F and grease a 13x9-inch baking dish so the cake doesn’t stick. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, eggs, and oil. Use an electric mixer to beat everything together until the batter is smooth and well blended, about two minutes. In another bowl, mash the bananas and mix them with the cinnamon and baking soda. Stir this banana mixture into the batter until it’s evenly combined. Pour the batter into your prepared dish and pop it in the oven. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before moving on. While it cools, whisk together the milk and pudding mix until smooth, then gently fold in the whipped topping to make a creamy frosting. Spread this frosting over the cooled cake and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it

How to serve
Serve slices plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or cream cheese frosting. It also pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea for a relaxing break.
Storage & leftovers
