Oatmeal Batter and Cornbread Recipe

Directions

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine shortening, cardamom, 1 cup of the dry bread crumbs, cornmeal and brown sugar. Heat until very fast, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.

Pour half of the pancake mixture into the bottom of a 4 quart casserole dish. Layer cake mix over the batter, then place the 2 large banana leaves on top. Pour remaining batter over the top layer, then sprinkle with remaining bread crumbs.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
