TRIPLE LAYER BANANA CAKE /W PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE ICING
A year around family favorite, the recipe for this moist layer cake was passed on to me by my mother. Children can't keep their fingers out of the icing, which tastes just like peanut butter fudge. This is a Taste of Home recipe, which I shamefully call my own at family gatherings. LOL (after all , I did bake it!)

BANANA TOFFEE BARS W/ BROWNED BUTTER ICING
These are rich and melt in your mouth - very much like a banana cake. Toffee and banana go so well together. I think these would also be good using almond extract. These are fabulous for a coffee break, dessert or a sinful breakfast. You can use any brand of toffee pieces such as Skor or Heath, just make sure they are not chocolate covered. ***NOTE: I wrote out the amounts for the sugar in the bars and the butter in the icing because Food.com wasn't recognizing "1/3". Hence, these amounts are not included in the nutritional value***
