Yes, I know. Pound cake mixes are very expensive. I do buy them
on sale, however, because they are so quick and easy, and taste
so good.
Here is a way to make them even more special.
Ingredients:
1 pound cake mix
1 cup mashed bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cup chopped nuts (if desired)
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Do not follow package
directions. Combine mix, bananas and eggs, and beat for 3
minutes. Fold in nuts if desired.
Cook in a 9-inch loaf pan (greased and floured) for 1 1/4 hours,
or until cake is golden brown and springs back lightly when
touched on top. Cool for 30 minutes on a wire rack (cover with
towel).
As with any cake, you can slice it and top it with chocolate,
whip cream, powdered sugar, strawberries, ice cream, etc. for a
special desert. Our favorite way is to use it for strawberry
shortcake.
