Method
 

Banana Pudding Cookie Butter Cheesecake Cake Instructions
  1. Preheat oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C). Prepare an 8-inch springform pan by greasing it lightly, ensuring easy removal later on.
  2. Mix cheesecake layer: Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Then, add the cookie butter and sugar, mixing until well combined. Follow with the eggs and vanilla extract, blending until creamy.
  3. Bake cheesecake: Pour your cheesecake batter into the springform pan and bake for 40–45 minutes. Once baked, let it cool completely before chilling it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to firm up.
  4. Prepare for banana cake: While the cheesecake cools, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans for your banana cake layers.
  5. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until combined. This will be the base for your moist banana cake.
  6. Cream butter and sugar: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla, mixing well.
  7. Blend in dry mix: Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the banana mixture until just combined. This should create a lovely batter with a smooth texture.
  8. Bake banana cakes: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25–30 minutes or until the cakes are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
  9. Make pudding layer: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix, cold milk, and sweetened condensed milk until thickened. Chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  10. Whip cream: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This will add that cloud-like frosting to your cake!
  11. Assemble cake: Start stacking your cake! Place one banana cake layer on a plate, spread a layer of pudding on top, add the cheesecake layer, and then repeat with the second banana cake layer. Frost the entire cake with the whipped cream mixture.

Notes
