Banana Pudding Poke Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix (such as Duncan Hines(R))
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 cups cold milk
2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant banana pudding mix
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip(R)), thawed
1 cup vanilla wafer crumbs (such as Nilla(R)), or to taste

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Whisk cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs together in a bowl until smooth; pour into the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 23 to 28 minutes.
Whisk cold milk and pudding mix together in a bowl until pudding is soft and thickened, about 2 minutes.
Poke holes into the cake using the handle of a clean wooden spoon. Pour pudding over cake, spreading evenly. Spread whipped topping over pudding layer and sprinkle vanilla wafers over whipped topping.
