    Desserts are usually the favorite part of dinner for most kids, but in today’s busy and fast-paced life it is not always possible to be ready with a dessert, or sometimes you are just too hard-pressed for time to go through the whole process of preparing one. To help you at the dinner table, here is a simple banana cake recipe with cake mix that is served with innovative caramel frosting that will keep everyone (adults and the kids) very happy.

    Ingredients

    • On your shopping list:
    • 1 packet or 200 grams of yellow or white cake mix (yellow gives a more authentic banana color)
    • 110 grams of light brown sugar
    • 5 mg of fresh ground cinnamon
    • 250 grams of peeled and mashed bananas
    • 110 ml of vegetable oil
    • 1 cup of water
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 cup of roasted assorted nuts
    • 10 ml of vegetable shortening
    • 10 grams of all-purpose flour
    • Ingredients for the caramel frosting:
    • 1 stick of unsalted butter
    • 220 grams of brown sugar
    • 120 ml of whole milk
    • 220 grams of icing sugar
    • 5 ml of vanilla essence

    Directions

    1. Preparation:
    2. - Grease (using vegetable shortening and flour) two or three 8 inch baking pans, depending on how many layers you want in the cake.
    3. - Preheat the oven to 350F.
    4. - Empty the contents of the cake mix packet into a mixing bowl, then add the sugar, ground cinnamon powder and mashed bananas.
    5. - Use an electric blender to beat the mix, along with the eggs, to get a good mix of the banana puree and eggs.
    6. - Add the vegetable oil and water to the mix and blend on a high speed so that everything is well mixed.
    7. - Pour the batter in the cake tins and bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes.
    8. - After the baking time, take the cake out of the oven and let it cool for about 30 minutes before assembling.
    9. Preparation for the caramel frosting:
    10. - In a thick-bottomed pan, boil the butter and brown sugar.
    11. - Add the milk and boil once again.
    12. - Remove from heat and stir in the icing sugar and vanilla essence.
    13. - Use a wooden spoon to mix everything until you get a smooth, spreading mixture. Keep in mind that you have to use the frosting while it is still warm, otherwise it will become hard and difficult to use.
    14. Assembling the cake:
    15. - Place one cake on a serving tray and spread a layer of frosting over it. Sprinkle some roasted nuts on the top.
    16. - Place another cake on top and cover with the frosting from all sides. (If you are using three cakes, repeat this step again.)
    17. - Let the cake cool in the fridge for an hour before serving.
