Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray two 8-inch round pans with baking spray.
Whisk cake mix, 1-1/2 cups milk, eggs, and melted butter together in a large bowl until well blended, about 1 minute. Pour into pans.
Bake 30 to 32 minutes, until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool on wire rack 15 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely.
PUDDING FILLING: Whisk together pudding mix and 1/2-cup milk in small bowl until blended. Set aside to thicken. Place 14 vanilla wafers in a resealable bag; crush to coarse crumbs.
Pour heavy cream into large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Scoop 2 tablespoons buttercream into whipped cream and mix on low just until blended.
Place one cooled cake layer on serving plate. Spread vanilla pudding evenly over and top with 12 slices of banana. Sprinkle 1/4-cup crushed vanilla wafers over and place second cake layer on top of first. Frost entire cake with remaining buttercream frosting. Press remaining crushed wafers on side of cake.
Decorate top of cake with whipped cream, whole vanilla wafers, and sliced bananas. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
