List of Ingredients




1 13"x9" Chocolate Cake
4 RIPE Bananas, Sliced
1 c Whipping Cream
1/4 c Almonds, Blanched, Toasted & Slivered
1/4 c Maraschino Cherries, Halved

CHOCOLATE PUDDING
2 c Whole Milk
1/2 c Granulated Sugar
5 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate, Grated
2 tb Cornstarch
2 tb Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
4 tb Water
2 Eggs
4 Egg Yolks
2 tb Vanilla

Recipe



Prepare the chocolate pudding first. Place the milk, sugar
and chocolate in a medium saucepan. Cook, stirring, over
medium heat until the chocolate is melted and the mixture
is on the verge of boiling. Sift the cornstarch and cocoa
powder together. Add water and mix thoroughly. Stir the
cornstarch mixture into the chocolate mixture. Whisk in
the whole eggs and the extra egg yolks. Cook until thickened
(about 5 minutes). Add the vanilla extract. Pour into a bowl.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill. Cut the chocolate cake
into 3" squares. Layer half the pieces of chocolate cake in
a large trifle or other large glass bowl, cutting the pieces
to fit. Arrange half of the banana slices around the sides
of the bowl and on top of the cake. Spread half the chocolate
pudding over the cake and around the sides. Repeat the process
with another layer of cake, more banana slices and the rest
of the chocolate pudding. Whip the whipping cream and slather
over the top of the topmost layer of chocolate pudding.
Sprinkle with slivered almonds and garnish with cherry halves.
Chill.
