BANANA CAKE SURPRISE

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

CAKE:
18 .5 oz banana cake mix
MIDDLE:
20 oz can crushed pineapple with juice
3/4 c granulated sugar
2 Tbsp rum extract
2 pkg 3 oz. size each instant banana pudding
3 c cold milk
2 medium bananas, not too ripe but not green either
TOPPING:
8 oz thawed whipped topping
1/4 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 c chopped nuts
1/2 c flaked coconut, or slices of banana, optional

Steps:

  • 1. CAKE: Make and bake cake according to package directions in a 9x13-inch pan sprayed and line with parchment paper and spray it.Poke holes all over cake with a chop stick and fork tines as soon as it comes out of the oven. Set aside to cool.
  • 2. MIDDLE: Place pineapple with juice in a medium saucepan and add sugar. Heat over medium heat for 10 minutes, until sugar is dissolved, remove from heat. Mix in the rum then pour evenly over the whole cake. Let cool to room temperature.
  • 3. Mix puddings and milk together until blended set aside to thicken slightly. Spread evenly over pineapple. Thinly slice bananas over pudding. Cover cake pan with plastic wrap and chill overnight or longer-- so cake absorbs syrup and moistens cake.
  • 4. TOPPING: Mix the powdered sugar into the whipped topping and stir in the vanilla. Spread evenly over bananas; top with chopped nuts and toasted coconut if desired.

Tips:

  • Ensure accurate measurements: Using a kitchen scale for precise measurements of ingredients, especially for baking, ensures consistent results.
  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add sweetness, moisture, and a rich banana flavor to the cake. The riper the bananas, the better the taste.
  • Cream butter and sugar thoroughly: This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a light and fluffy cake. Creaming for a full 2-3 minutes is recommended.
  • Add eggs one at a time: Gradually adding eggs helps prevent the batter from curdling. Beat each egg until well combined before adding the next.
  • Fold in dry ingredients gently: Overmixing can result in a tough cake. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  • Bake at the right temperature: The ideal oven temperature for baking banana cake is 350°F (175°C). This allows for even baking and prevents the cake from overcooking.
  • Don't overbake: Overbaking can dry out the cake. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This prevents the frosting from melting and allows the cake to set properly.

Conclusion:

Creating a delectable banana cake involves careful attention to detail and following proven techniques. From selecting ripe bananas to creaming butter and sugar thoroughly, each step contributes to the final outcome. Patience and precision are key to achieving a moist, flavorful, and perfectly textured banana cake. Experimenting with different frosting options and garnishes adds a personal touch, making this classic recipe a versatile and delightful treat for any occasion.
