1 box yellow cake mix and whatever ingredients the cake requires (eggs, oil, water)
1 box Nilla Wafers
1 container of Whipped Cream
2 3.4 oz boxes of instant banana pudding
4 cups milk (to make the pudding)

1. Mix and bake cake according to box directions using a 9x13 pan

2. Cool cake for 5 minutes and use a round object to poke holes in the cake.
Make sure to poke all the way to the bottom of the pan. I used the end of a wooden spoon.

3. Prepare instant pudding. Stir well and let sit for 2 minutes. You don't want the putting to fully set up. Pudding should still be easily pourable after about 2 minutes.

4. Pour pudding over cake. Be sure to get pudding down in the holes. Refrigerate until cake is fully cooled.

Slice and serve!

I made this for an outdoor work celebration and it was an absolute smash hit.
Its pleasing to both the eye and the tastebuds.
