Tonight I am having a very old and very loved family dessert. It dates back to my grandpa at least, probably farther.
It's very specific and you have to follow the directions to the letter or it just doesn't do right.
Want to know what it is?
Spoiler
First you take a Nilla wafer, smear a dob of peanut butter on it, then top it with a banana slice.
Do you have an old family dessert recipe to share?

Haupia cake...a family favorite from DH's side of the family in Hawaii. Haven't made it recently though
16 servings
ingredients
1 box white cake mix 2 tsp coconut extract 2 cups coconut milk 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 tsp salt 3 Tb cornstarch 1/2 cup water
preparation
Prepare cake mix as per package directions, adding 1 tsp coconut extract, back in a 13x9 pan Heat coconut milk in a sauce pan, stir in sugar, salt, and cornstarch/water slurry. Stir in remaining tsp coconut extract, Cool until warm. Poke holes in the cake with the end of a chopstick or wooden spoon. Pour half of the warm coconut milk mixture over the cake. Let cool and then frost with cooled coconut mixture.
my notes
you can substitute coconut flavored cake mix for the white cake mix, omit the 1 tsp coconut extract.
