Sorry for the poor rating, but it was disheartening to go to the store 5 times because I kept messing up on whipping the cream! I kept getting cottage cheesy like stuff and finally I went online to find out exactly how to whip the creme and when it finally worked out, it was somewhat harder than the liquid, but by no means formed stiff peaks. I couldn't find lady fingers and thought that using the bisquit type ones would work.. BIG Mistake. Luckily the recipe was runny enough to soften the lady fingers but forget trying to cut a piece out, best eaten with a spoon and scooping out like ice cream. I don't understand how to prevent such a disaster and would like to give a rave reviews like everyone else. Suggestions on getting a more custard like consistency? ( I even put it in the fridge for 2 days!)

I searched far and wide for something cake-like that involves pecans and wasn't hard to make. I came upon this recipe and although the cake was intended for my boyfriend, his whole family ate it up and maybe he got a tiny sliver (?). They all raved about it and want me to make it the next time they're in town. However, when I tried to frost the cake with the banana nut frosting, I got liquid instead of frosting. Am I doing something wrong? I'll probably just stick with the funky looking (but good tasting) cake without the frosting.
