Being my kids, the chose a Reece's Peanut Butter Cup Pie, and yes, I am proud of both their behavior and their taste.
However, even though my iron fist was just as responsible for training their good behavior as my wife's velvet glove is, I was not going to get to have any of the rewards. Even if any of the pie survives a last night at my mom's house tonight, it's not going to survive the 4 hour drive back from Everett. So, it was up to me to reward myself...and while I was at it, create something to ensure that my wife and kids actually come home tomorrow.
Having a few bananas that need to get used, I took to foodgawker, looking for something to do with bananas...and finally settled on this recipe: Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Upside Down Cake.
The picture on her blog looks better than mine...might need to get a nicer camera sooner or later.
Now...if you actually read the recipe, you might realize that my finished cake down not look like it's 9 X 13...and that's because after getting the cake out of the pan, I then dropped the pan on a corner of the cake...so...I got to taste test!
Pretty okay. Maybe not as good as a Reece's Peanut Butter Pie...but it's a nice change of cake from banana bread. I just wish I had read the entirety of the directions closer. I followed the recipe, and then kind of stopped reading...right before the part where she says you should put a baking sheet on your bottom shelf in the oven, because your cake might overflow the 9 X 13 baking pan.
My warning that I had screwed this up was the smoke detector going off. Live and learn.
