Heavenly Bananas Foster Bread Pudding




I made this for Ang and Ariel's super bowl party - it turned out pretty good. I didn't use the Classic Angel Food Cake recipe - but decided to take the easy way out and use the purchased angel food cake. Next time I will use one and a half cakes vs. just one because it was a little too soggy for me, but still really tasty. Oh and it says that it takes 2 hours, but it is really easy and I actually did it in between our photo shoot that day :)

Prep Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours (with baking times)
Yield: 8 servings

INGREDIENTS

1⁄2 of a baked Classic Angel Food Cake or 1 (9 oz) purchased angel food cake, cut into 1-in. cubes (about 6 cups)
2 1⁄4 cups milk
3 large eggs
1⁄2 cup packed light brown sugar
1⁄4 cup spiced rum
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 firm-ripe bananas, sliced 1⁄2 in. thick
Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Lowfat vanilla ice cream (optional)

PREPARATION

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spread out angel cake cubes on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes, tossing three times, until lightly toasted and dry. Turn off oven.

2. Whisk milk, eggs, sugar, rum and vanilla in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved. Gently stir in cake cubes and banana slices; pour into an 8-in. square baking dish. Cover dish with foil. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature for cake cubes to absorb most of the milk mixture.

3. Heat oven to 350°F. Bake, covered, 30 minutes. Remove foil; continue to bake 25 minutes or until pudding is set.

4. Let stand 15 minutes. Dust top with confectioners’ sugar. Serve with small scoops of vanilla ice cream.
