Once I woke up and entered the kitchen this morning, I realized that I had three bananas on the verge of over ripeness. Those bananas challenged me and the next thing I knew, the white layer cake with lemon curd was trumped.
Throwing away produce is against my religion. If some berries or greens or herbs are still sitting in the fridge after a few days, I consider it a challenge to use them creatively before they expire and I have to face the guilt of throwing away food (which = money).
So I found a recipe for a banana layer cake and went to work.
 |
| Mashed bananas with buttermilk and vanilla. |
 |
| Mixing dry ingredients into wet. |
 |
| Cakes rising in the oven. A beautiful sight. |
 |
| Cooling cakes and thinking that I need something else to jazz up this dessert. What can I use as a filling between the layers? |
 |
| Nutella! |
 |
| Cream cheese frosting and a bit of garnish. |

Yay for Nutella--all though it's pretty evil of you to remind me of its existence. There's a reason I've blocked that yummy, gooey nuttiness from my memory.

ahhhh, typo that I am unable to fix, and I call myself a writer--for shame :-(
Delicious!
my yummy rotten banana recipes all include buttermilk too!
Oh my does that sound decadent!!!!
I never have buttermilk on hand so I use the milk/white vinegar trick. For one cup of buttermilk, I use one tablespoon of white vinegar and then enough milk to make one cup; just let it sit for five minutes and voila! Buttermilk substitute.
