Does the lemon juice just add flavor or what is the purpose for it?
I wonder what I could do to help preserve the freshness of the sliced banana on top before serving
Is the banana's dipped in lemon juice just for flavor? and say if I made these for an event..how could I keep the banana's from getting all brown until served if there isnt a fridge

I believe it is to keep the bananas from turning brown.

I changed the recipe a little by making the cake mix into cupcakes. And then for the frosting- I didn't have banana pudding (only vanilla) so I beat a banana in with the milk before adding the pudding mix and whipped cream. Then finished it by sprinkling some finely chopped pecans. It was sensational!

I tried this recipe over the weekend and it was awesome. I did add in banana extract to the mix which tasted great.

Adalou, I totally agree with your comments about this cake. Is one layer or three layers. Did you ever get a response? If so could you let me know what they said please. Thank you

This is not a review, but a comment. After reading through the recipe and then looking at the picture, something just doesn't fit. It would appear that the picture displays a 3 layer cake while the recipe is for a one layer cake. Consistency please... Also the recipe should indicate at some point to whip the cream.

n case no one noticed, the pic of the three layer cake is not the same cake, that one is white or yellow cake with a chocolate cake recipe. I think it was poste in the wrong area!

I have to agree about the whipped cream. it should say 1 cup whipped cream, not whipping cream.
