Strawberry Shortcake, there’s a new guy in town, and he’s a heckuva lot hotter than you. This Butter-Crisped Caramel Banana Shortcake is super simple and to-die delicious. Angel food cake is slathered in butter, then cooked until golden brown on a hot skillet. Top that with banana, caramel sauce, whipping cream and toasted coconut and you’ve got yourself a dessert so good,y ou’ll never go back to that old ex of yours. Who needed strawberry shortcake, anyway?

I. HAVE. BEEN. SEARCHING. FOR. A. BANANA. SHORTCAKE. RECIPE. FOR. WEEKS. I saw a picture of a banana shortcake on the flaps (you know, those annoying covers they put on magazines when you order them in the mail, covered with ads?) of Southern Living, and I thought: ‘Ohmygoshthatsoundslikethebestideaever!’ Yes, I’m 23 years old and I got that excited over a banana shortcake recipe. So I went and tried to find it on Southern living .com… and nada. Couldn’t find it anywhere! I was going to try making regular strawberry shortcake, just with bananas, but THIS… Oh, this recipe will be SO much better! I thank you and your creative abilities in the kitchen!
