- 2 teaspoons of baking soda dissolved in 4 tablespoons of hot water
- 5 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 3 cups sifted flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla

into the mashed bananas. Add to the sugar and egg mixture. Mix in flour
and vanilla. Stir in nuts. Bake in 3 8" or 9" cake pans (Either spray
pans with "Pam" or grease and flour.) at 375 F. degrees for about 25
minutes or just until cake first begins to pull away from the sides of
the pan. Cool on cake racks. Assemble with the apple/lemon/coconut
filling below.
APPLE-LEMON-COCONUT FILLING
- 2 apples (with cores and peels removed) roughly chopped
- 2 lemons (with seeds removed) roughly chopped with rind
- 1 3/4 cup of sugar
Mix all above in a food processor until smooth. Make sure there are no
large pieces of lemon rind.
Add 2 cups of grated coconut (fresh, canned, or frozen).
Add 2 eggs.
In a heavy bottom pan, boil until thick--just a few minutes--stirring to
prevent scorching.
Spread between layers and on top. Enjoy!

The cake was simply made by baking a yellow "box" cake - let it cool.
Then poke holes on the top about 1 to 2 inches deep. Make any red jello
and right away before it sets up, pour it over the top of the cake -
getting it in the holes.
Make a vanilla pudding mix according to the
instructions. Let it firm up.
Put on top of cake and top it with whip
cream. If you want to garnish the cake: put nuts or cherries on top of
that.
