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. |
