I also have a yummy cake recipe that I adapted from Your Home Based Mom. After the success with the last banana pecan cake recipe I tried that used a cake mix, I wanted to try this variation. The cake layers are filled with yummy fresh bananas and banana filling. Then it’s all topped off with whipped cream. This cake is a light and delicious variation from the usually cream cheese frosting version. Loved it. YUMMY!
Banana Cake
Cake:
- 4 very ripe mashed bananas
- 1 box white cake mix
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup oil
- 3 whole eggs
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
Filling:
- 1 large box of cooked banana cream pudding (not the instant)
- 5 additional bananas
Frosting:
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 4 heaping Tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- chopped walnuts
Mix all the cake ingredients except bananas for 2 minutes, medium speed. Add bananas and blend well.
Bake in 2 greased & floured round cake pans, following baking recommendations on box. Cool on racks. I made the cake the day before.
Make pudding according to package directions. I make it using the microwave directions. If you do that, watch it on the last 2 minutes. Min overflowed and made a mess in my microwave. Let pudding cool
Whip whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla.
Split each cake round in half. Place one cake on serving dish. Spread with 1/3 of pudding mixture topped with banana slices. Repeat with remaining cake, pudding, and bananas. Frost the whole outside of the cake with whip cream & sprinkle chopped walnuts on top. I used banana slices on top of mine but think the walnuts would have been better.
Rainbow Sherbert sounds Yummy!
Hope all is well with your family! I would love to try the Strawberry Sundae flavor! I actually saw these at Target and almost bought them!
More importantly, that cake looks incredible!
anything with strawberry! Hope your daughter is OK! HUGS

Anything with strawberries has got to be good!
Strawberry banana, my favorite combo.
Rainbow sherbet sounds heavenly. What a good way to have a treat but in a healthy way.

Wow. All the flavor of a sundae, without the guilt? AND the benefits of yogurt?
SIGN ME UP1

Yummy!! I want to try strawberry.
I would love to try the Rainbow Sherbet. Sounds delish!

As I am not much of a fan of banana flavoring, I would like to try the Strawberry sunday or the Rainbow Sherbet.
Yum! I want to try all 3 flavors.
strawberry sundae!
I would like to try the Rainbow Sherbet., especially since my 3 year old and 1 1/2 year old girls are in LOVE with rainbow sherbet and want whatever I eat.
Rainbow Sherbet! yummm…,
Strawberry Sundae! Brings back the memories of Sunday afternoons, walking in the park with Nana after eating one of my mother’s fabulous home cooked Sunday dinners. Walking, and sometimes skipping, listening to Nana talk. Sometimes it would be about Nana’s memories of life in the old country, sometimes life lessons on propriety and etiquette, and sometime just silent walks enjoying each other’s company. The walks and the talks always varied, but the one thing that remained constant was stopping at a little ice cream stand on the edge of the park for a Strawberry Sundae. Cool, creamy, strawberry deliciousness savored on the tongue slowly, trying to make the sundae and my special time with Nana last as long as it could.
Nana, the park, and the ice cream stand are long gone, living only in memories of my childhood. I still love Strawberry Sundaes, but can’t afford the extra calories in my daily diet. At 90 calories a serving and no artificial flavors, sweetners, or high fructose corn syrup, Yoplait Splitz allows me to visit Nana’s Sunday memories in my heart with a Strawberry Sundae anytime I want.
The strawberry banana split is the one I want to try. I love banana split ice cream, so this would save me many calories.
the rainbow sherbet sounds yummy!!!
Strawberry Sundae please!
Strawberry Banana Split definitely.
I’m a huge fan of anything strawberry/banana so I would try that one for sure!
Strawberry Banana Split

I would just love to try the “Rainbow Sherbet” yogurt! Sounds delicious! My husband loves yogurt but I have just recently acquired a taste for it. Some things I might buy an off brand but not yogurt! Yoplait has a superior product and one taste is all it takes to convince you of that!
