- Place one banana cake layer on a serving plate or cake board.
- Spread half of the banana pudding filling evenly over the top.
- Carefully place the chilled cheesecake layer over the pudding layer.
- Spread the remaining banana pudding filling on top of the cheesecake.
- Top with the second banana cake layer and gently press to set the structure.
5. Decorate the Cake:
- Frost the entire cake lightly with whipped cream. Smooth the sides and top with an offset spatula.
- Drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top, letting it drip slightly down the sides.
- Sprinkle crushed vanilla wafers over the top and sides as desired.
- Garnish with banana slices, pecans (if using), and decorative whipped cream swirls.
6. Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the finished cake for at least 1–2 hours before slicing to allow the layers to firm up and meld together.
- Slice and serve chilled. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator.
