This banana cream pie sheet cake is a DEAD ringer for the classic pie! It’s made easy in sheet cake form and destined to become a cake favorite!
The Friday that pie met cake was in fact a FREAKING GOOD DAY.
Basically like a 1000x easier version of banana cream pie with the cake factor to boot. GIMME.
It’s a little too late for Pi (e) day but this technically isn’t even a pie. Just the best sheet cake ever that’s about to make its way into your regular cake rotation.
Yes, I have a cake rotation which is quite similar to a dinner rotation. Doesn’t everybody?
As I said before, this banana cream pie sheet cake has actual cake for the base and it is BOMB. I use a yellow cake and it is beyond dreamy.
Cause then homemade vanilla pudding gets piled on top of said cake. And aaaaaall the banana goodness.
It slices like a dream which is obviously a terrifying thing. You get it.
This is the perfect cake to take to any gathering or that midnight snack cake business we are all extremely familiar with I’m sure.
Pie + cake business in this case. The only way to go.
