Bonnie Brooks - Salisbury, Maryland
Bake-Off® Contest 24, 1973 Grand Prize Winner
Thrifty Bonnie Brooks wanted to use up two overripe bananas. Starting with a cake mix, she created a lovely tube cake, layered and topped with crunchy streusel. It's still worthy of a grand prize.
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup coconut
1 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1 1/2 cups (2 large) sliced very ripe bananas
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
4 eggs
1 package (1-lb 2.25-oz) pudding-included yellow cake mix
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 10-inch tube pan. In medium bowl, combine flour, coconut, rolled oats, brown sugar and pecans; mix well. Using fork or pastry blender, cut in margarine until mixture is crumbly; set aside.
In large bowl, combine bananas, sour cream and eggs; blend until smooth. Add cake mix; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Spread 1/3 of batter in greased and floured pan; sprinkle with 1/3 of coconut mixture. Repeat layers 2 more times using remaining batter and coconut mixture, ending with coconut mixture.
Bake at 350°F. for 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool upright in pan 15 minutes; remove from pan. Place on serving plate, coconut side up. Cool completely.
HIGH ALTITUDE - Above 3,500 feet: Add 3 tablespoons flour to dry cake mix. Bake at 375°F. for 45 to 55 minutes.
