Ingredients

Cake
3 cups flour, all-purpose sifted
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon banana extract
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
Simple syrup
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
4 tablespoons creme de banana
Strawberry filling
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup strawberries mashed fresh
1 teaspoon liqueur grand marnier or cointreau, orange flavor
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 large banana sliced

Directions

Cake: Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. Beat eggs until light and foamy. Add flavorings. Add sugar gradually. Add flour mixture alternately with cream, beating after each addition until just smooth. Pour batter into two 9" greased round cake pans and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven 40 minutes or until done. Cool on racks and then brush with Simple Syrup.

Simple Syrup: Combine sugar and water in a heavy small saucepan. Bring to a boil over moderate heat, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Stir in creme de banana.

Strawberry Frosting: Whip cream in large chilled bowl on low speed until soft peaks form. Add Grand Marnier and sugar and beat on high speed until spreading consistency. Fold in mashed strawberries. Spread this mixture between layers and add sliced banana on top of bottom layer. Add remaining mixture on top and sides of cake.

Sausage-Apple Stuffed Squash

This was VERY good. I used 2 large buttercup squash instead. I also included a crumb topping combining 1/3 c. bread crumbs, 1/4 c. Parmesan and 1/4 c. shredded cheddar cheese. I then melted 3 TBS of butter and drizzled it over all. I would give five stars but end result was a bit dry, next time I make it I will try adding butter and brown sugar under meatballs.
