Chocolate Banana Pudding Cake
"Surprisingly easy cake to make, this Chocolate Banana Pudding Cake uses the ease of a cake mix and premade frosting. The premade frosting is actually hidden inside the cake between the layers. Added to that are delicious fresh bananas for that flavorful impact we all want in a dessert. The frosting on the top and sides is also super easy to make needing only 3 ingredients. This year-round cake is loaded with flavor without the fuss. "
