Every month, we have a Visit the Grandparents weekend. Usually, during the last weekend of the month, we will go on a road trip with the kids to visit their grandparents on either side.

We do this alternately. We want our kids to grow up familiar with their grandparents. My only regret in life was not being able to spend a lot of time with my paternal grandparents because they lived far. Grandparents are a huge part of a child’s life so we want our kids to know that fact. Last month, it was my parents’ turn.

Usually, I bring homemade dessert for them even though I know that Mom can out bake me anytime. However, my desserts always have a purpose; and it has something to do with their health.

Mom has developed cramps recently. Dad cannot leave her alone for a long time because when her cramps attack, it will be quite a difficult situation. The doctor said that she shouldn’t force herself too much and that she should eat a lot of bananas.

This Cake Is Crazy – Like a Fox

This Crazy Banana Cake may be a bit out of the ordinary, but this originality pays off nicely – and you certainly don’t have to be a pro-level baker to put it all together! It’s a great idea for family gatherings and potlucks alike.

I do like to be a bit adventurous in my cooking and baking, but I have to admit, when I looked at the directions, I was a bit skeptical. This was the first time ever I had heard of such a way to bake a cake, and when I asked my friends, they hadn’t tried anything like this, either. I am glad that I took the plunge, though. This banana cake is delicious!

I’m pretty sure it’s these directions exactly that make this cake so wonderfully moist and soft! To make it even more perfect, there’s the icing… I could eat that thing with a spoon! Still, this cake is incredibly delightful even if you’re serving it as is, without the icing.

Quick Tip: Make sure to liberally coat your pan with Pam cooking spray to avoid sticking.

This Simple Banana Pudding Cake bakes in about 45 minutes, with just a few easy steps to prep it before baking. Don’t let the simplicity of this cake or its two-ingredient icing fool you, however. This cake is loaded with rich, sweet flavor, and it’s incredibly moist!  It’s a dessert that’s easy enough to make whenever you feel like a little treat for yourself or your family, and yet it will be a big hit at most any gathering.

This recipe makes good, creative use of a few basic ingredients!  The use of olive oil instead of the usual vegetable or canola oil adds a bit of extra depth to the flavor without weighing the cake down too much. You can actually eat this cake even without the simple icing and have a very nice dessert, but it really is about the perfect topping for it. Enjoy!
