Christy's Notes:

This is my variation of the original Cream Puff Cake. I hope you like it.

Directions

Preheat oven to 400. Lightly grease/flour 13x9 pan. Slice bananas and toss in lemon juice. Set aside.

In medium sauce pan, boil water/butter. Add flour mixing well. Add eggs, one at a time. I use a fork and whisp rapidly until smooth. Spread mixture into pan and bake for 30 minutes. Poke bottom with wooden spoon and let cool.

Using a hand mixer, cream 1/2 cup of milk with softened cream cheese. Add pudding/pie mix and the remaining 1 1/2 cups of milk and blend until well mixed and creamy. Fold in bananas.

Spreadh cool whip on top of pudding mixture. Drizzle caramel topping over top and sprinkle with nuts.

Refrigerate at least an hour before serving.

Variations: Chocolate syrup in lieu of caramel. Cashews or toasted pecans in lieu of honey roasted peanuts.

Christy, Was looking for a Banana Cream Cake recipe for a family get-together. Yours jumped out at me because of the Lowrance name. That was my mother's maiden name, spelled Lorance. Will surely try your recipe out! Thanks for sharing.

Interesting. Was your mother of Indian/French/Italian descent? It's such an unusual name, I love it when I come across someone who recognizes it. Where was your mother from?

Our first Lorance came as a mercenary soldier from Germany to fight with the English in the Am. Rev. Michael Lorance signed his papers with an 'x' so we are not sure of the original spelling, maybe Lorenz? Have done research for years. By the way, Michael deserted and then fought for OUR side!!!! Stayed in the US and had many children. They went from NC to Tenn, later to TX.

Very interesting. My husbands family were all from Missouri. His grandmother was full blooded Cherokee Indian. I've done some research on "Lowrance" and have found that they are descendants from Italy ... Thanks for sharing your story.
