Bananas Foster Shortcake

By Leslie Blythe    ,

February 24, 2022

I happen to love Banana's Foster. When I was pregnant with my first daughter, Zoe, I woke up one morning and said to my husband. "I want bananas foster." He then said that we would make it that evening. I then said, "No, you don't understand, I need it now!" It's really amazing that we had all the ingredients in the house. He granted my wish and it hit the spot! It's one of my favorite desserts. Zoe likes it too! Anyway, I have made Brennan's Bananas Foster, Bananas Foster Layer Cake, and Bananas Foster Upside-Down Cake. I guess you could say I'm a bit bananas! Anyway, I went further and made this I love
