BANANA CAKE WITH HOMEMADE PUDDING ICING
This cake does not last long in our house. In truth I think it's the icing that makes the cake, but the moist cake is fabulous too. It freezes great as well.

HOMEMADE BANANA PUDDING IN THE MICROWAVE
My Mother made her banana pudding (ok, it's really vanilla pudding poured over sliced bananas) in the top of a double boiler on the stove. It was always topped with meringue and baked, then served warm. This is more of a modern version, made quickly in the microwave for convenience. Although this is served cold and topped with whipped topping, you can still reserve the egg whites, beat them with sugar, spread over the top of the pudding and bake until brown to serve it for Southern style warm banana pudding. Cooking time does not include cooling.

The meringue on top is fluffy and adds a bit...

- Cook over medium heat until thickened, and then remove.
- Add banana slices & vanilla.
- Pour into vanilla wafer lined bowl & refrigerate.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. Overripe bananas will give the pudding a mushy consistency, while underripe bananas will not be as sweet and flavorful.
- Make sure to whisk the pudding mixture constantly while cooking over medium heat. This will prevent the pudding from scorching and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan filled with simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk in the pudding mixture.
- To make a chocolate banana pudding, add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder to the pudding mixture.
- For a more decadent dessert, top the banana pudding with whipped cream or ice cream.
