Patricia says
I plan on making this cake but first I have a question….when it comes to making the pudding for the cake, I am assuming that after I add the vanilla and bananas to the pudding mixture, I pour it on the cake…and do not do the last pudding instruction which is to let cool, then cover and chill to thicken….
Please reply.
Thanks.
Stephanie Brubaker says
Hi Patricia! You still want to let the pudding cool and thicken before pouring over the cake. Hope you enjoy it!
Joanne says
