This banana pudding cake is basically banana cream pie baked into a cake! Add in a creamy cheesecake glaze and this is one over the top banana-lovers dream!
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a standard Bundt pan, 12 cup capacity.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt then set aside.
Using an electric mixer on medium speed with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add in the banana pudding mix and mix on low for 3-4 minutes to dissolve the pudding mix.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each is thoroughly incorporated.
Combine the milk, oil and vanilla extract in a large measuring cup or bowl.
Starting with the dry ingredients, alternate pouring a third of the wet and dry ingredients into the bowl, incorporating thoroughly after each addition. You will end on the wet ingredients. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes after the last addition.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center of the cake and along the middle hollow area comes out clean. This cake takes a while to bake, have patience.
Invert the cake onto a baking rack to cool.
Mix together the glaze ingredients until smooth & drizzle over the cake, once it's completely cool.
Top with fresh banana slices right before serving and enjoy!
