This is a super easy, quick, delicious banana cake recipe! I only made two changes. I used a butter cake mix instead of yellow and I did preheat the oven to 350 degrees and baked for 35 - 40 minutes. I also added one cup of chopped walnuts. I spooned about 2 T of the dry cake mix over them to coat them so they wouldn't sink in the batter. I added them after everything else was mixed as directed. I did not frost the cake. Served it with a little (or alot) whipped cream on top or just ate it plain. I thought it was better the longer it sat in the pan. Will make again. In fact, I've got 3 very ripe bananas in my kitchen calling to me now. Gotta go, time to bake!

This is delectably creamy and smooth! I made this for a church function. I did double the batch and made as written except for the addition of vanilla extract as other suggested. Also, please be sure to use salted butter. I think the taste would be blah without that bit of salt in the butter. My Mom taught me a long time ago about adding a pinch of salt to sweet stuff to enhance the flavor. I don't know why it works. I just knows that that pinch of salts makes sweet things taste better. I put it in a 15" baking sheet (small jelly roll pan). Sprayed the pan with cooking oil then lined it with aluminum foil. Coated the aluminum foil with butter. I did use a 2-to-1 ratio with the chips, twice as much milk chocolate as semi-sweet. I also used Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips but Baker semi-chocolate because I already had them on hand. Start out with about 1 1/2 mins. in the microwave. Stir then another 1 1/2 mins. Then carefully add additional 45 seconds to 1 minute times, stirring after each. After the first 3 mins., start checking the true status of the "remaining" chips by squeezing one. You'll be able to tell when those last few chips are soft enough to finish meling. This will keep you from burning the chocolate. I did my mixer to beat the melted chocoate for about 2 minutes. Refrigerated overnight and then cut with a pizza cutter (what a great tip!) after removing from the pan and removing the aluminum foil. I guess I have to agree with the comments that this d

This is the best apple pie ever.I overheard my boss who raves about her sisters pie say this was much better.Later she said i should enter it the fair.I did follow one viewers advice and pour about half the thesugar butter mixture on the apples before making the latticecrust on top then poured the rest over that.
