My Grandfather ran the Langendorf Bakery cake and cookie division up in Berkley Ca in the 50's - 70's. Among their baked goods there were these things called "Banana Dreamboats". It was a spice cake baked in the strawberry shortcake cup style with a banana cream filling. It had a huge following, people still talk about them. They were discontinued when the bakery was bought out in the early 80's.
