Banana Icebox Cake

"This incredible Banana Icebox Cake is creamy, smooth, and delicious with layers of graham crackers, light-as-air banana pudding mixture, and whipped topping. It is so simple to make yet a show stopper at your next potluck or family dinner. What is an icebox? Well, during the early 20th century, there wasn’t refrigeration yet, so an icebox was the closest thing. An icebox is a non-mechanical form of refrigeration. A large block of ice was held in the upper compartment of this primitive refrigerator, and the colder air would come down and circulate to the lower compartments keeping the food cool. So an icebox cake is a cake that is refrigerated, as simple as that. Since promoters were trying to sell their iceboxes in the United States, this cake rapidly came into popularity in the 1930s."
