Going Bananas!

I don't know about you, but I LOOOOVE banana bread (not necessarily bananas themselves, hehe). My mom found this recipe in Paula Deen's 2007 Holiday magazine. With bananas, banana pudding, cool whip, and shaved chocolate, how can you go wrong?

Ingredients:

3/4 c. butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
2 c. mashed ripe bananas
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 1/4 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 c. plus 2 tsp whole buttermilk
1 box banana cream instant pudding
1 (12 oz) container cool whip, thawed
grated chocolate for garnish.

How to Prepare:

In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar. Beat at medium speed with electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and mashed bananas.

In a seperate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture.

Pour batter into a 13 X 9 greased pan. Bake for 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted comes out clean. Let cool for one hour.

With the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes halfway through cake in half inch intervals. Next make pudding according to box. Pour over top of cake and refrigerate for 2-4 hours. Spread whipped topping over top of cake and garnish with grated chocolate.
