Desserts - Cakes
WALNUT-BANANA CREAM CAKE

1 (2-layer size) pkg. super-moist yellow cake mix
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (3 medium)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts, divided use
FOR THE FROSTING:
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Sliced banana (optional, for garnish)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8-inch cake pans.

Beat cake mix, bananas, water, oil, and eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer set at high speed until well mixed, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup walnuts. Spoon batter into prepared pans.

Bake until cake layers test done when toothpick inserted into center, about 30 minutes. Place pans on a rack to cool.

TO MAKE THE FROSTING:

Spread frosting between cake layers and over top and sides of cake.
Spread remaining chopped nuts on sides of cake. Arrange banana slices on top, if desired.
