this cake is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.


These treats are B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Fortunately, you don't need your own set of Harajuku girls to enjoy this cuppycake. They will, however, make you want to throw up the peace sign.

cuppycake:

1 box of betty crocker spice mix
2 eggs
2 mashed bananas
1/3 cup of vegetable oil
1 cup of water
2 tsp. of cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. of vanilla
Werther's Caramels cut in half

the icing on the cuppycake:
1/4 cup of milk
1 mashed banana
15 caramels
1/4 cup of powdered sugar
3 egg yolks
2 sticks of butter

optional:
1/2 cup chopped almonds

Beat all ingredient of the cuppycakes together, except the caramels. Fill cups 3/4 full, and place 1 caramel piece (cut in half) into each cupcake. Bake until done & let cool.

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the caramels with the milk and the mashed banana. While this is melting, with an electric mixer, whip the egg yolks and powdered sugar together until thickened (about 3 minutes). Add to caramel mixture, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Set in fridge and let cool completely (about 1 hr in the fridge or fast forward by placing it in the freezer for a 1/2 hour). Beat softened (but cool!) sticks of butter together with an electric mixer for 5 minutes until whipped. Add cooled caramel mixture, whip together and ice those cuppys!

Makes 24.
