Saturday Workday Goodies

10 years ago

Hi everyone,

This Saturday, my theatre family will be treated to a cake that I have never made before (along with the usual orange lemonade). It's called Banana Butter Cake. Here is the recipe.

Banana Butter Cake

1 18 oz. box yellow cake mix
2 ripe bananas
3 2 oz. Butterfinger candy bars, chopped, divided
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 16 oz. can white frosting (I may use a can of cream cheese frosting instead)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cake batter according to directions. Mash bananas and stir into batter. Fold in about 3/4 cup chopped Butterfinger and chopped pecans. Pour into sprayed, floured 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool thoroughly, remove from pan and spread with frosting. Sprinkle remaining chopped Butterfinger over top. Serves 12-16.

Let's hope they like it!

Unless there is someone who is allergic to pecans, I don't see why they would not like the cake.

Just make sure you make enough.

OK, I'm conflicted. I hate bananas and love Butterfingers. Sigh. What's a girl to do?

I'd probably have to have a piece, then have another just to be sure I liked it. Yes, that's what I'd have to do...

That lovely window probably wouldn't be a dollar around here. No garage sales here for about a month. I hardly went to any in my attempt to collect less stuff (like that worked, lol). But at least I'm trying! (and I'm making more things) Post pics of what you do! kathy

Thank you again, everyone! Cynic, no, the legs do not fold up on this rack, and it's very sturdy, indeed. I just love looking around at the thrift stores. You're right, when you find what you're looking for or are surprised by finding something else that you like, you always have a good time. Brad AKA Moonwolf

dcarch, There will be plenty of cake to share and I may have some slices to take home with me, too. I know those peach cookies I made before had pecans in them and they were loved by everyone.

Annie, LOL I used to eat bananas when I was little, and I still enjoy the flavor of banana. You're more than welcome to have a slice or two.

There wasn't too many of us at the workday today, but still the cake was very well liked and they enjoyed a preview of my Halloween costume :-).
