BANANA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING
I always requested banana cake with fudge frosting for my birthday. Mom's recipe is attached to my fridge-and my heart. It's funny how many memories live on in a stained handwritten recipe card. On a more practical note: It's important to make sure the whipped cream cheese is truly at room temperature before you use it. If not, it chills the softened butter and makes for lumpy frosting. -Jeanne Ambrose, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

BANANA CAKE WITH PUDDING ICING
Easy, one-bowl cake with a divine icing. This is the ULTIMATE banana cake, great way to use ripe bananas, too. The icing makes a lot, but if you're like me, I'm lucky if half of it makes it onto the cake and not in my mouth/lol. Also, great to turn the cake onto a platter, so you can cover the sides with icing, too. If you like bananas, I GUARANTEEE you will LOVE this cake!!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Mix cake mix, water, eggs, and oil until smooth. Pour 1/2 of the mixture into each prepared cake pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
- While the cake layers are cooling, combine whipped topping, 1 cup milk, powdered sugar, 1/2 of the banana cream pudding mix, and 1/2 of the chocolate pudding mix in a bowl; mix until thoroughly combined. Mix remaining 1 1/2 cups milk and banana cream pudding mix in another bowl until smooth. Place both bowls in the refrigerator for at least 5 minutes. Save remaining chocolate pudding mix for another use.
- Slice the tops of the cooled cake layers to make them level. Place one layer on a serving platter. Top with a single layer of banana slices arranged in a circular pattern, completely covering the cake. Spread a 1/4-inch layer of banana cream pudding on top, then repeat with another circular layer of banana slices.
- Place the second cake layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the whipped topping mixture.
- Decorate cake as desired with vanilla wafer cookies and remaining banana slices. I like to stand cookies around the cake bottom, top the cake with bananas, and sprinkle crushed cookies over top. Slice and enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.
