I want to make a banana cake for my mom's B-day but not sure what kind of filling or frosting to use. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am going to use one of the banana recipes from this site but if anyone has a really good one to share, please let me know. Thanks
I like cream cheese icing on banana cake, they go really well together.
I am baking a banana cake using The Cake Bible's recipe as we speak, and looking through the oven door, it doesn't seem to be rising *cry*! It still has 20 minutes to go, so maybe there will be some kind of miracle in that time *pray*! I'm filling mine with banana pudding and decorating with vanilla buttercream, but that's what the customer has asked for!
Thanks so much for all the advice. Sounds like a banana filling with cream cheese icing.
Leigh01: What is Marscapone icing?
bonjovibabe: How did your cake come out? Hopefully it is just perfect and the way you want it to be. Thanks again to all. Everyone on CC is always so nice and willing to help 
Marscapone icing is basically the same as a cream cheese icing but you use marscapone cheese instead of the cream cheese or mix it together with cream - I love using it - works great with carrot cake and chocolate/cherry cake. It seems to compliment a variety of flavours. Hope this helps.
The cake didn't rise very much afterall, so I ended up having to make 3 layers, and even then it was only 3ins high! It tasted teriffic though (from what I had of the trimmings)! I delivered the cake today and the customer was pleased - it's the Batman cake in my photos.
bonjovibabe: sorry your cake didn't rise to much but it looks fantastic. The batman sign is awsome.
nefgaby: Nutella would be so yummy. My family loves chocolate so just might have to give it a try.
Leigh01: Can I find the marscapone cheese in the cheese section at grocery store or is it in another place?
Hi, I did a banana cake last month and the filling I used was NUTELLA!! It was very very good! Although, check first for nut allergies and even better if the person is a chocoholic! HTH
Ohhhh ... banana cake with Nutella filling sounds absolutely TO DIE FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!! <drooling all over myself

yes...there are a ton of threads about Dulce de Leche on the forum...basically, you boil condensed milk in the can (water has to cover the can) and boil it for 3 or 4 hours...it comes out caramel-like...delish.
Watch out: the can can explode if you don't keep it covered in water at all times and keep the lid on the pot.of water too....you can do it in a crockpot too...
