- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced

Instructions
Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix box (typically around 350°F/175°C). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
Prepare the cake mix:
- In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix with 3 large eggs, following the instructions on the box. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for the time indicated on the cake mix box (about 25-30 minutes). Check with a toothpick to ensure it’s cooked through. Let the cake cool in the dish.
Make the pudding:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mixes, 4 cups cold milk, and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Whisk until the mixture thickens and forms a smooth texture.
Assemble the cake:
- Once the cake has cooled, slice the bananas and strawberries. Spread a layer of pudding over the cooled cake, then add sliced bananas and strawberries on top.
Top with whipped cream:
- Spread a layer of whipped cream or whipped topping over the fruit, and optionally garnish with more fruit slices on top.
Serve:
- Chill the cake in the fridge for at least an hour before serving for the best texture. Cut into squares and enjoy!
