MOIST BANANA CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

INGREDIENTS

3 small ripe bananas or 2 large ripe bananas
4 large tablespoons sour cream
1 white cake mix
3 egg whites
2 tablespoons oil
1 1/3 c. milk
1 tsp vanilla flavoring

Frosting:
INGREDIENTS
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
1 stick butter
1/3 c. nuts of your choice (i use walnuts)
1 box of powdered sugar (4 cups)
1 tsp vanilla flavoring

COOKING DIRECTIONS

Blend bananas with mixer, adding your sour cream. When mixture is well blended, not lumpy, add your cake mix, egg whites, oil, milk, flavoring together and mix. Add milk last so you will be able to judge the consistency of the cake and adjust as needed.

Once well blended, pour mixture into a greased/sprayed, 9x13 cake pan or 3 cake layers.

Bake at 350F for about 25 min. or until the cake is done.

Cake will spring back in the center when touched if done, don't over bake! Remove cake from oven and allow to cool.

Tip: Place wax paper over cakes to capture the moisture while cooling; this adds to a really moist, delicious cake!

Mix cream cheese and butter together in a bowl. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix until you get the consistency you like.

Add a little milk to the frosting while mixing if you like it to be creamy. When icing is done, add 1/3 chopped walnuts to the icing. Crush them right out of the package with the end of a blunt object to make smaller pieces.

Stir walnuts into frosting well. After cakes have cooled, frost each layer with icing.

This is a really good, moist cake! I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does!

HALLOWEEN FUNNEL CAKES

INGREDIENTS

2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
few drops vanilla (optional)
powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar (for sprinkling)
large funnel
about 2 cups vegetable oil (for deep frying)

COOKING DIRECTIONS

Stir together flour, baking powder and salt.

In a medium bowl, beat eggs and stir in milk until well combined.

Add flour mixture to egg mixture and whisk together until smooth.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep, heavy bottomed pan (cast iron works well).

When oil is very hot (about 375F) pour the batter through the funnel to form a steady stream; fry about 3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once, then for another minute or until equally browned on both sides. Remove using a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar or for Halloween treats, drizzle with orange icing. Serve accompanied with syrup, if desired.

Tip: Fry the funnel cakes in batches (about 4). It helps to use a frying thermometer, but if you don't have one, test the oil temperature by cutting a 1 inch square piece of bread and dropping it into the hot oil. It should brown in 1 minute; if it browns more quickly, turn the heat down. If it takes longer than 1 minute to brown, turn the temperature up very slightly and try this test again in 5 minutes.

An easy method of dusting the cakes: toss into clean brown paper bags into which has been added a few tablespoons of sugar, then shake to coat. Small lunch bags are great for individual servings and for Halloween treats.
