Spiced Apple Banana Cream Cake

This cake was made up by me. I went to make a spice cake the other day because it sounded good, on the package it said for a twist add in apple pie filling. I thought why not add pudding in as well (because that usually helps cake rise).

The cake was so incredible that Jason said it was the best cake he had ever had in his life. So either he was super hungry or it was really that awesome. Everyone in the house loved it, or said they did. Even those that claim to not like apple pie filling.

Best Ever Banana Bread

We haven't had a lot of luck with fresh fruit lately so we've had lots of yucky bananas. I tried a recipe last week with some good reviews and it was ok. This week we tried another one and it was awesome! The title was the Best Ever Banana Bread and I totally agree. I got it off of Allrecipes.com. I read the reviews and made some changes as suggested and we love it.

2 eggs, beaten
1/3 c. buttermilk
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 c. mashed bananas (I used 4 bananas)
1/2 c. white sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. chopped pecans (I left this out)
1/2 c. chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray one 9x5 inch loaf pan (I used two small ones) with non-stick cooking spray. Blend together the eggs, buttermilk, oil, vanilla, and bananas. Stir the sugars, flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to banana mixture and stir in pecans. Mix well. Make a mixture of sugar, brown sugar, nutmeg, an cinnamon. Sprinkle a little on the bottom of the pan. Pour bread mixture into loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture and some chopped walnuts on top. Bake 1 hour 20 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. After it cooled enough to touch and not burn us (but still a little hot) we took them out and put them in a zip lock bag, stuck it in the fridge, and waited until it was cool. It was so moist!
