Fluffy Banana Cake With Whipped Banana Icing

Icing:.
Beat the egg whites, salt, sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread on cake and top with banana slices (dip in lemon juice to prevent browning).
Banana Slush
4 cups sugar
7 cups water
6 oranges
6 lemons
48 ounces pineapple juice
4 cups pineapples, crushed
6 bananas, mashed
You also need an empty 4 litre ice cream pail or other container.
Boil sugar and water.
Juice the oranges and lemons, mix with sugar water, banana, and pineapple, and freeze in an ice cream pail.
To serve by the glass, fill half the glass with slush and top with 7-up, ginger ale, or grapefruit pop.
This is optional:
(Add vodka or fruit-flavored alcohol for fun)
Banana Ketchup
2 ounces sultanas
3 ounces onions, coarsely chopped
2-3 cloves garlic (big, fat ones)
3 fluid ounces tomato paste
1 1/3 cups cider vinegar or malt vinegar
4 bananas, very large and extremely ripe and cut into chunks
3-4 cups water
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 fluid ounces golden syrup or light corn syrup
2 teaspoons ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated if possible
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons dark rum
Combine the raisins, onions, garlic, tomato paste and 1/3 cup vinegar in the container of a food processor; process the mixture until smooth, and then transfer the mixture to a large, heavy saucepan. Add the banana chunks and another 1/3 cup vinegar to the food processor container; process the mixture until smooth and then transfer the banana mixture to the saucepan. Add the remaining 2/3 cup vinegar, 3 cups water, brown sugar, salt and cayenne pepper. Bring the mixture in the saucepan to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to low and cook the ketchup, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1? hours.
If the ketchup threatens to stick to the bottom of the pan at any point, add some of the remaining water, up to 1 cup.
Add the corn syrup, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper and cloves to the ketchup. Cook the ketchup over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes longer, or until it is thick enough to coat a metal spoon. Stir in the rum.
Remove the ketchup from the heat and let it cool a few minutes. Force the ketchup through a fine sieve to strain it, pressing down hard on the solids. Remove the ketchup from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Store covered, in the refrigerator, for up to 1 month.

from my recipe box and from my cook book make milkshakes with them and ice cream, and a little bit of milk to not have it soo thick. also add a little vanilla extract for flavor.
make a pudding trifle. nilla wafers, pudding, bananas. reapeat you can freeze bananas and use them for baking later on Banana bread, banana pancakes, smashed bananas on ice cream . . . chocolate covered frozen bananas!!!!!! Banana Bread, Banana's Foster, Banana Cream Pie... Banana bread, banana creme pie, banana milkshakes. I myself would make banana bread for my family members and friends. I'd pass the love around:) Why don't you make some banana cream pie. here's plenty of ideas Cut some of them up into pieces, put into a ziplock freezer bag and freeze. Use the frozen pieces whenever you need bananas in a smoothie. The rest use for banana bread or muffins. Over ripe bananas are the best for any homemade bread recipes that call for bananas. Under ripe bananas do not work as well and do not have the flavor in the bread as the over ripe ones do.
http://www.squidoo.com/keywordnichefinde... At my culinary school, we had a 50 pound case of bananas that was about to turn. Instead of getting rid of them, or making a bunch of banana bread, we had a giant ice cream social. There were enough banana splits to feed the entire faculty. Have a party. It's just a thought. boil sugar in water measure is 1 is to 1/2..then add the peeled bananas..boil them til donee add tsp of vanilla..put in the fridge ..eat with ice and milk..or eat just plain as your dessert! Ooooh
