I had to laugh a little when I saw your mention of the chocolate banana cake. I reviewed one of her books (Promises to Keep) several years ago which ended its chapters with recipes and made the Chocolate Banana Cake from it. I went back and looked at my post and the instructions were really vague--I made it into cupcakes. It was good though! ;-)Deb in Hawaiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12753889028487254096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-17279589647339353542016-12-24T11:23:20.492-05:002016-12-24T11:23:20.492-05:00Merry Christmas to you and yours!
