Bavarian banana cake
Cakes
I grew up four blocks—a short walk—from Kienow's Bohemian Bakery in Portland, Oregon. Whenever my family needed a last-minute dessert, we’d pick up one of their Bavarian Banana Cakes and our guests would fuss over it with a big smile. I even bought my wedding cake from them. But, by the time our first wedding anniversary came around, Kienow’s doors had closed. <br /> <br />Fortunately, our local newspaper, The Oregonian, soothed the angry community clamor by printing Kienow’s Banana Cake recipe. I never thought to make it until my husband requested a Bavarian Banana Cake for his 40th birthday party. Over time, I made my own variations on the recipe. <br /> <br />I added a rum syrup to the cooling cake and created a whipped cream and mascarpone frosting inspired by New Season's Bakery. This cake tastes light and creamy and is my husband and son's favorite cake. If you serve this at a party, just be prepared to share the recipe. Enjoy!
