I like shortcuts in the kitchen to make a dessert, but this recipe didn’t really wow me. Maybe as cupcakes it could have been better, but it just seemed like the cake was really heavy like a banana bread. I would probably make it again using a cake mix and the topping listed below.

Serve cake topped with pudding and bananas; drizzle with chocolate topping. Store in refrigerator. I put the bananas under the pudding instead of on top.

Tips:
-Caramel topping makes a great stand-in for (or addition to!) the chocolate or fudge topping.
-To keep bananas from turning brown, dip them in lemon juice just after slicing.
