The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

This is a good recipe. After reading the reviews, we decided to bake at 325 degrees for approx 1 hour and 10 minutes. The cake came out a little early, done but moist and delicious.

It is fun to make. I didn't have a tube pan, so I used my bread pans to bake the banana pound cake and it work.

I change it alittle, I used 2 cups of whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup of self rising flour. I like it!!!

The cake was easy to make. 3 bananas are almost equal to 1 cup mashed. Temp. is too high. 330 degrees would be enough. I made two cakes, but the one burned in my stoneware bundt pan, I took the other one out early and saved it. Now I only have one! The texture and test are very good, of what I tasted of the center, while I was heading to the trash can to throw the burnt cake away.
