They say first loves die hard, and I think that truth applies to desserts, too. My husband grew up eating banana pudding in his grandmother’s kitchen. The grandkids would sneak into the kitchen to stake a claim on one of the cooling bowls of pudding, always opting for the ones with extra vanilla wafers. Now, seven years into our marriage, I can tell that the majority of treats he nibbles on in our own home undergo a mental comparison with those warm banana puddings. Will this dessert be the instant classic he’ll request for years to come? Alas, I’m rarely even close. Those bites taken during our formative years tend to reserve a special spot in our hearts (and palates), and banana pudding will always be my husband’s favorite.

This banana cream pie cake is a nod to his nana’s dessert. A sheet of fluffy white cake is topped with homemade vanilla pudding, sliced bananas and whipped cream. The options for simplifying here are endless. You can use boxed yellow or white cake in place of the homemade, stove top pudding in place of the custard, or whipped topping instead of freshly whipped cream. Prepare this cake in a way that works for you, and don’t stress over making it all from scratch if that’s not your thing. I like to add extra bananas or a drizzle of salted caramel sauce to make this cake even more decadent, but all of the elements are so delicious on their own, that they require no extra bells or whistles.
