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.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

This just didn't work for me. I mostly don't like the topping. A simple streusal type topping would have been much better. My loaf rose quite high, and didn't leave a lot of room for the topping, and thus much ended up running over and out of the pan. As far as testing for doneness, I suspect that the topping cleaned off the toothpick, as it was not done when I took it out, despite a clean toothpick. And I couldn't touch it to see if it sprung back when there was a hot sugary mixture covering it.

I loved this recipe! Just made it, and it tastes and looks wonderful :) About the temperature..i never know, because of my oven (very oldfashioned, but i used it the same way i use it for "regular" cakes. I added 1 tsp of vanilla, 1/4 tsp of cinnamon to the dough, and 1 dsp of poppy seeds. Thanks!!

This recipe is easy and delicious. I baked it at 350 for 45 minutes, added the topping (I didn't use the nuts) and then an additional 12 minutes. It came out perfect. I used four bananas (because that is what I had and they were overripe), and one medium sized apple. Great and yummy!
no temperature listed -- also - the sizes of apples and bananas vary. How much mashed banana... 1/2 C? 1/4 C? Same for the grated apples.
Again what temp? would have tried it but not going to take any chances.
