Banana Pudding Cookie Butter Cheesecake Cake: The Ultimate Layered Dessert

If you’ve ever struggled to choose between banana pudding, cheesecake, or cake — this dessert ends the debate. Banana Pudding Cookie Butter Cheesecake Cake combines three iconic treats into one unforgettable showstopper.

You get moist banana cake layers, a rich cookie butter cheesecake center, silky banana pudding, and fluffy vanilla whipped frosting — all stacked together into a dessert that’s indulgent, nostalgic, and completely over-the-top in the best way.

This is the kind of cake made for celebrations, holidays, birthdays, and moments when “extra” is exactly what’s required.

Why This Cake Works So Well

Each layer plays a specific role:

• Banana Cake → soft, fragrant, and comforting
• Cookie Butter Cheesecake → rich, creamy, slightly spiced
• Banana Pudding → nostalgic and silky
• Whipped Vanilla Frosting → lightens the richness

Together, they create balance instead of heaviness.

What Is Cookie Butter?

Cookie butter (often known as Biscoff spread) is made from spiced cookies blended into a smooth, spreadable paste. It tastes like caramelized biscuits with hints of cinnamon and brown sugar — a perfect match for banana desserts.
