I LOVE this recipe!! Also, have always used granulated sugar for the filling & have no problems with it. The end product is creamy, smooth filling! It's whipped in my Kitchen Aid between 6 & 8 minutes. It's a luscious filling that I want eat it with a spoon! This filling I use for cupcake filling & whoopie pies. To make a chocolate filling, I throw in powdered chocolate or cooled chocolate squares melted. YUM-O!

Very good and almost does taste like the banana flips we bought as kids. I did use the powdered sugar as suggested. I would like to see a little more air in the filling but other than that it is easy and I am sure I will have to make again, Thanks for sharing,,:)

This turned out awesome. It tasted just like the banana flips you could buy years ago....I used granulated sugar in the filling, next time I will beat longer or use powdered sugar as suggested. I might also try to add a banana to the cake batter, but it tasted great without needing to make any changes. My picky young eaters LOVED it !! :)

AMAZING!!! I made my own cake mix and added the pudding mix to it. I didn't have banana extract so I used vanilla butter nut that I usually only use at Christmas time. I am not sure why my sugar mixture didn't come out smooth since I used tub butter that was already softened. Maybe my shortening wasn't soft enough. Anyways, even though the filling was somewhat gritty (baker error I'm assuming) this was unbelievably good!

I just made this and it is great. I added a banana to the cake mix and used 2 sticks of real butter and 1 stick of parkay for the filling. what the recipe doesn't tell you is that you have to beat the filling for a good 10 minutes until the sugar is no longer granually. will make again

Easy to make. Co-workers loved it! Smelled and tasted like the "real thing." Thanks! Will make it again.

Cake was perfect, but filling was off somehow to me maybe the shortening I'm not sure. Thanks for the recipe!

The cake was good. I used a recipe for home made cake mix that I found on this Web site and added a banana. I tried to serve this cake to company, but no one would eat the filling, it was too greasy. Sorry, but I didn't like this much. The cake with some other filling might work though.

I was so hopeful that this was going to be good. I added two bananas to the cake batter, which was pretty good. It wasn't dry at all. I used powder sugar instead of regular - that totally made sense. I just think the filling was greasy, but not so bad if it was really cold. I would probably make it without the shortening - use butter maybe - if I made it again.
