Grandma Kasper's Banana Bread

Wow, I tried this last week and it really is the best banana bread I've ever made! Really moist and good!

Mounds Cake

This is a personal favorite!!

1 (18.25-ounce) package yellow cake mix without pudding, such as Duncan Hines brand
1 (3.4-ounce) package white chocolate or French vanilla Instant pudding mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
4 large eggs
1 4-ounce) carton sour cream (or plain yogurt)
8 snack-size (or 4 regular-size) Mounds candy bars, chopped
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup flaked coconut
Confectioners' sugar, optional

Preheat the oven to 350 de¬grees. Grease and flour a 12-cup fluted tube pan or bundt pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake and pudding mixes, oil, water and eggs. Stir until most of the lumps are gone. Stir in the sour cream, then the candy bars, chocolate chips, nuts and coconut.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan for about 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Cool completely.

Before serving, dust with sifted confectioners' sugar, if desired. Or you can serve it with non-dairy whipped topping or vanilla ice cream. 12 servings
