Having friends over to dinner so I had to do a dessert without having to make the five mile trek to Kroger's. I still had oranges left, from the box of oranges my brother sent me and some bananas that were perfect for baking but not eating ala natural. I was paging through Judith M Fertig"s book, All American Dessert , and found the two produced sitting hand and hand on page 82. So here is another recipe adapted from her book. Make a standard banana cake, (hers or yours) . when done baking, turn off the oven, take the banana cake out, cover with mini marshmallows, put back in the oven for ten minutes, take out let cool. Mix zest and juice from one orange, a cup of confectioner's sugar(sifted) and two tablespoons of melted butter. Whip it with a whisk or use a mixer to make a smooth glaze and to incorporate the sugar . Pour over the cooled cake. Enjoy!!
Just took a small piece from the corner. MMM ...M tastes tropical! The marshmallows are still gooey and the other flavors are distinct but still blend well together. If you like the marshmallow topping, I am sure it will go well with any cake you would make with a complementary glaze.
For some reason the turkey tenderloins are still not done and the guest are making the cake an appetizer. Guess it is a hit! Simple but good.
