Wonderful Things That May or May Not Be Wonderful!!!
Cake. One of the most prominent desserts in all of dessert-dom. It has the hallmarks of any wonderful food. It can be shared, it is quite delicious, and it comes in many varieties. Pound , red velvet, German chocolate, devil's food, angel's food, black forest, bananas foster, cup, cheese (even though that's more of a pie). So many ways to eat cake. Sadly, compared to other desserts, many cakes I have tasted can be overwhelmingly sweet and cloying, making them less desirable than other desserts with nuance in my opinion. However, with a little bit of know-how, cake can live up to the hype and more and all the bad cakes in the world cannot detract from those times when you taste something truly special that warms your soul with that moist, flavorful dough. Something that can truly be called wonderful.
Butter and brown sugar can make magic happen. Take Bananas Foster, for example. A plain ole banana, which I can take or leave, turns into something I can hardly resist when cooked in a simmering pan of butter and brown sugar. So simple, but so incredibly satisfying. I can never seem to get enough. It always surprises me when I make Bananas Foster, as if I’ve never had it before, and must never go without it again.
Bananas Foster is usually served with ice cream, but I decided to go ahead and mix it into the ice cream for a twist on the decadent dessert: Bananas Foster Ice Cream.
Uh huh. I did. Get the recipe here.
