Directions

For the cake

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

For the banana pudding

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

For the frosting

For the cake

  1. Place one layer of cake onto a cake board or turntable
  2. 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
  3. Using the piping bag of pudding, pipe the pudding into the center of the cake layer
  4. Put the second cake on top of the one you piped
  5. Repeat the above steps and place the third cake on top
  6. Frost the rest of the cake with the remaining frosting
  7. Grab the coconut and sprinkle at the bottom of the cake
  8. Using your squeeze bottle, pour in the caramel sauce and place it on the edge of the cake so it drips down
  9. Pipe frosting along the top in dollops
  10. Add a sprinkling of coconut to the dollops and  a wafer cookie in the middle
  11. Leave in the fridge for at least one hour before serving for best results
