3 tb Dark rum
2 tb Banana liqueur
1/2 ts Pure vanilla extract

Chef Frank Brigtsen of Brigtsen’s Restaurant in Uptown New Orleans is
a fantastic cross between the classic bread pudding and Bananas
Foster, the great flaming bananas and ice cream dessert.

Preheat the oven to 300F. Put the French bread pieces into a 9x12x2
inch baking pan. In a blender or food processor, blend the eggs,
milk, 2/3 cup of sugar, bananas, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon of
the vanilla until smooth. Pour this mixture over the French bread
pieces. Fold in the raisins and the pecans and let the mixture set
for 20 minutes. Top with small pieces of the butter.

Cover the pudding with aluminum foil and place the pan into a larger
pan. Add warm water to a depth of 1 inch in the larger pan. Bake for
1 hour. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for 15 minutes until set.

In a deep, medium bowl, whisk the cream just until it begins to
thicken. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon
vanilla. Continue whisking unti soft peaks form. Cover and chill.

Banana Rum Sauce Heat a large saute pan or skillet over low heat. Add
the butter, sugar, bananas, cinnamon and nutmeg. Moving the skillet
back and forth, cook until the butter and sugar become creamy and the
bananas begin to soften, about one minute. Remove the skillet from
heat and add the rum and the liqueur. Return the pan to the heat.
Tilt the pan, avert your face and and light the liquid with a long
match. Shake the skillet until the flames subside. Add the vanilla,
remove from heat and keep warm.

To serve, place a large scoop of bread pudding in the middle of each
serving plate or bowl. Place 2 slices of banana on each plate and top
with about 3 tablespoons of sauce. Spoon the whipped cream over the
bread pudding and serve immediately. Walt MM

Gateaux Jos. Louis

Home-made versions of this best selling commercial snacking cake turn
up in recipe collections throughout the Beauce. A product of the
giant Vachon bakery at St. Marie, it was launched by founder-bakers
Arcade and Rose-Anna Vachon who named it for their eldest two sons
Joseph and Louis and not, as some believe , after the heavyweight
boxing champion, Joe Louis. Home recipes use a drop-cookie method and
~sometimes- a marshmallow filling. The baking cake is made
automatically with a diameter of 3 1/2 inches (9 cm). To achieve a
symmetrical look and a light texture, I adapted a recipe belonging to
Mariette Scully Bourque of Notre Dame des Pins to the muffin tin.

CAKE: Grease 12 medium muffin tins or 24 small ones. In a large bowl,
cream butter and sugar together until fluffy. Measure milk into a 1
cup measure and stir in vinegar, then baking soda. In another bowl,
sift or mix together flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and salt.
Combine dry ingredients with butter mixture with milk; stir in
vanilla. Fill prepared muffin tins half full of batter. Bake in a
preheated 350F oven for about 10 minutes or until a tester inserted
in centre comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in pan. Turn out onto
rack and cool completely.

VANILLA FILLING: In top of a double boiler, set over boiling water,
combine egg whites, granulated sugar, salt and water. With an
electric mixer, beat until stiff and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove from heat and beat in vanilla.

CHOCOLATE ICING: Cream soft butter with cocoa powder. Blend in cream
and vanilla. Stir in sifted icing (confectioner’s) sugar until icing
is of spreading consistency.

Slice cakes in half horizontally. Fill with Vanilla Filling and
spread tops and sides with Chocolate Icing.
