A good banana cake can be soft and sweet, but a great one has weight, creaminess, and that old-fashioned banana pudding flavor in every slice. This cream cheese banana pudding pound cake recipe brings those pieces together in one tall, tender cake: ripe bananas, cream cheese, instant banana pudding mix, vanilla, and a buttery vanilla wafer finish. The result is rich without being heavy. The crumb is dense the way a pound cake should be, but still moist enough to slice cleanly
