3 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
5-7 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream
1 large piping bag (star tip)

Directions

For the cake

Preheat your oven to 350F and spray your cake pans with baking spray to prevent sticking
Depending on which cake mix you’ve bought, follow the instructions on the back of the box
Divide the batter evenly between the three prepared cake pans
Bake in the oven for around 25-30 minutes (a toothpick should come out clean when placed in the center)
Remove from oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack
When cooled, use a knife (or cake leveler if you have one) to make the cakes level with one another

For the banana pudding

Grab a large mixing bowl and mix the banana pudding and milk together until well combined (around 5 minutes)
Now add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until smooth
Add the cream cheese. Whip until smooth
Fold in the cool whip gradually until mixed well
Place the pudding into your piping bag

For the frosting

Using a mixer, mix all the frosting ingredients together until you make stiff peaks
Put the frosting into a piping bag, ready to pipe

For the cake

Place one layer of cake onto a cake board or turntable
Grab the prepared cake frosting and pipe an outline around the edges of the cake (be sure it’s thick). This is to secure the pudding, it almost works as a barrier
Using the piping bag of pudding, pipe the pudding into the center of the cake layer
Put the second cake on top of the one you piped
Repeat the above steps and place the third cake on top
Frost the rest of the cake with the remaining frosting
Grab the coconut and sprinkle at the bottom of the cake
Using your squeeze bottle, pour in the caramel sauce and place it on the edge of the cake so it drips down
Pipe frosting along the top in dollops
Add a sprinkling of coconut to the dollops and a wafer cookie in the middle
Leave in the fridge for at least one hour before serving for best results
Your cake is ready to enjoy!
