Bungalow Cake

We had a cake I'd never heard of today: the bungalow cake.

The mom of the first birthday boy had mentioned it as if I would know. Do you?

It's one layer of chocolate cake and one layer of vanilla cake, with a filling of fresh strawberries, bananas, and whipped cream, and a whipped cream frosting.

An initial googling seems to indicate that it's a Connecticut thing. Is it?

While I like certain banana desserts--banana pudding, bananas foster, banana breads (might as well be dessert), baked plaintains, fried bananas with honey, bananas in coconut milk--I don't usually like them with strawberries. Especially not as a smoothie. But this really worked. It was almost like a pink banana-pudding-cum-strawberries for filling. The one we had was two layers of vanilla, no chocolate, which I think I might actually prefer. Though, I kept wondering where the coconut was.

I mean, it does sound tropical, right? So, maybe it's a New England way to beat the winter? 'Cos otherwise, when you think Connecticut, you don't think bungalows.

(BTW, Miss T, I think it would make an awesome cupcake!)
