\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Since I didn’t have all the ingredients on hand\u00a0to make Banana Bread, I made\u00a0improvised Banana Cakes.\u00a0 The\u00a0experiments\u00a0started with\u00a0a\u00a0White Cake Mix,\u00a03 large extra ripe Bananas and a\u00a0box of Vanilla Pudding Mix.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I mashed the Bananas, then added in the Cake Mix and Pudding Mix.\u00a0\u00a0And I\u00a0prepared\u00a0as instructed on the Cake\u00a0Box, less 1\/4 Cup\u00a0liquid.\u00a0 The Cake Mix I used called for 3 Eggs, 1\/3 Cup\u00a0of Oil, and 1 1\/4 Cup\u00a0of Water – I added only 1 Cup of Water and used Walnut Oil.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For a\u00a0second\u00a0experiment I poured most of the batter into a\u00a0baking tin for\u00a0the oven, and\u00a0the rest\u00a0into a small glass bowl for the toaster oven.\u00a0 I cooked both\u00a0Cakes 5 minutes longer than directed on the Cake Box.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And happily both Cakes turned out really good — Moist and Banana-Bready.\u00a0 I mixed Powdered Sugar, Vanilla Extract and Milk to make a\u00a0Glaze that’s\u00a0seen on both Cakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These experiments were born from over ripe Bananas with no flour on hand\u00a0— And since\u00a0there was an excess of batter,\u00a0why not make a baby Cake too?!\u00a0 Plus I’d never made a Cake in the toaster oven before, so I wanted to try it.\u00a0 I had the larger\u00a0Cake as a back up if it didn’t go well.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Overall, I would make and enjoy the very same again.\u00a0\u00a0The flavor and texture were\u00a0agreeable and it was fun to have a “tasting” Cake.\u00a0 Others really liked it too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

UPDATE (12\/14\/08):<\/strong>\u00a0 Subsequent Toaster Oven cooking (experimentation) has revealed it’s necessary to add 5-15 minutes to the cooking time of a Cake, Bread or Custard.<\/p>\n
