My aunt Sandy, who usually made this delicious Cheez Whiz dip for family get-togethers, gave me the recipe. The addiction is strong! It tastes fantastic with raw vegetables, crackers, and chips. What’s more, it’s quite simple.

I used a yellow cake mix and olive oil as that is what I had. It turned out great. I made a homemade chocolate buttercream frosting for it also. It was a hit!
Simple and delicious! I used a yellow cake mix, that’s what I had, and added a tsp. of vanilla. I topped it with cream cheese frosting. It’s a keeper!
Nice and easy cake recipe. Using a box mix is a good shortcut. The frosting tastes nice and light. The only thing that you sacrifice with a box mix is the ability to substitute monk fruit sweetener for the sugar. I try to minimize my sugar intake. Other than that it tastes terrific, it’s quick and easy to make.
knock down drag out at my house for the last piece lol… not quite, but you get the picture. thank you so much for this delicious recipe!!!
I was looking for something easy to bring to a social function that also used up as many bananas as possible (I put them in my freezer when they get too ripe and there are DOZENS in there). I was going to bring two of these with me, but they smelled so amazing while they were baking that we ate one as soon as it cooled. I absolutely LOVED this, even though I’m usually a from-scratch cook. I’m about to try a modified version with canned pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla pudding in the frosting to go with the turkey I’m roasting today (two days post-Thanksgiving). I bet that’s delicious, too.
Very nice quick recipe, good flavor. The only draw back is that no one makes a cake mix in a 18.25 oz package, the largest I could find was 16.5oz so I reduced the water by 2 tablespoons
This recipe was amazing! I followed it exactly, and it turned out perfectly! For my oven, 35 minutes at 350 was perfect. I used the banana cream instant pudding as listed, but you could use whatever kind of pudding you like (or your own favorite frosting recipe). I took it to school for a potluck breakfast, and it went very fast! I will definitely be making this again.
