The Ultimate Guide to Making Banana Pudding Cake: A Delicious Recipe Unveiled

Making the Filling:

The filling is what gives this Banana Pudding Cake its luscious texture and intense flavor. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 1 large egg and 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 3/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoons banana extract
• Pinch of kosher salt

1. Simmer the milk and cream: In a medium saucepan, bring the whole milk and heavy cream to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
2. Prepare the egg mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.
3. Temper the eggs: Slowly add the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture, whisking vigorously to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
4. Thicken the custard: Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low-medium heat until it thickens to a custard consistency, stirring constantly.
5. Add flavorings: Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, banana extract, and salt.
6. Chill the custard: Strain the custard to remove any clumps, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until completely chilled.
