Got Brown Bananas? It seems that no matter how many bananas we eat, there are always some left that get too ripe to eat. That’s why this moist, easy pudding cake is great. Not only is it made in the slow cooker, but it’s delicious. Actually, Slow Cooker Banana Pecan Pudding Cake is a cross between a cake and a pudding; it’s softer and moister than a regular cake, but firm enough to be spooned into serving bowls. It’s also rich and delicious.

Make this luscious cake on a busy day when you don’t have time to spend in the kitchen. Since it’s made in the slow cooker, there’s no need to monitor the cooking, and no need to heat the oven. Serve it with a little whipped cream or ice cream.

16 Servings

Glaze
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
2 cups chopped pecans

Pudding
1 18.25 ounce package Butter Pecan Cake Mix
1/4 cup flour
1 3 oz. package instant vanilla pudding
3 medium overripe bananas
2 cups sour cream
4 eggs
1 cup orange juice
3/4 cup vegetable oil

1. Spray a 4-6 quart slow cooker with non-stick spray.
2. Glaze: Mix the brown sugar, melted butter, and chopped pecans and spread onto the bottom of the slow cooker.
