Bananas Foster Bread Pudding

Serves 8

10oz angelfood cake (homemade or store-bought), cut into cubes

3 medium bananas, sliced into 1/2" slices

2 1/4 cup skim milk

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

3 eggs

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

4oz spiced rum

Powdered sugar (optional as garnish)

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.

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.
