Woot! Diva in the house! Author Chastity Bush has cruised by today to give us busy chicks a recipe for a sweet treat that can be whipped up in a jiffy. She is also sharing one of her eBooks to a lucky commenter. Let's give her a ginormous welcome worthy of a Diva.
Thanks for having me here today, Vanessa!
For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Chastity Bush
and I’m the author of several romance novels. Writing’s my passion and I can’t
go a single day without doing, or thinking about it. If you’ve read my books,
thank you! And if not, I hope you one day do!
I’m also a wife, and the mother to two great daughters. As
many of you mothers out there know, life can get a bit hectic from time to time
and making a yummy treat is almost completely out of the question. I love to
bake, and many recipes are so complicated and time consuming it’s hard to make
time to prepare them. So here’s a quick and easy recipe I’m sure your family
will love.
Thanks again for having me here today!

pudding, use chocolate or vanilla!

ingredients needed to make cake (eggs, oil & water)
2 (3.4 oz.) packages instant banana pudding
4 cups milk
1 (8 oz.) tub frozen whipped topping, thawed
20 vanilla wafers, crushed

Prepare
pudding per directions on box.
Once
pudding starts to thicken, pour over cake.
Press pudding into holes with the back of a spoon. Make sure the pudding
gets into the holes.
Place
cake into refrigerator and all to cool completely.
Spread
on whipped topping. (Or you can use regular icing. I like to make mine with
white icing, and add banana flavoring)
Crush
vanilla wafers in ziplock bag. (Leave some pieces bigger for a little crunch).
Spread over cake and serve. (Can also serve with slices of bananas)
