Grandma Rhonda's Instant Banana Cake

I never got to meet my Grandma Rhonda. Dad says that she was always the last person laughing in a room. I have an image of her being hilarious and slightly inappropriate, which I love.

 She was also very stylish. That is her on the right with the fantastic pill box hat, gloves, and tres stylish brooch and little black bag. Here she is at the Pentagon in 1961 with my Grandfather on the far right. Looks important and yet she seems to be trying not to crack up laughing!

I was reading JustB's blog and saw she has a giveaway at the moment to win a KitchenAid. To enter you need to submit a recipe for your very favourite delicious treat.

 It got me thinking. While I don't know a whole lot about Grandma Rhonda, Dad did pass on her excellent instant banana cake recipe. This is clearly not my baking above but a fine example lifted from Taste. I like to think that Grandma was a little bit like me in that maybe we are both secretly crap at cooking but can do a couple of things quite well...as long as they are ridiculously easy. A KitchenAid Mixer would make this recipe about 10 seconds long. Just the way I like it!
