BEST EVER BANANA, WALNUT AND CARAMEL CAKE
I have made this cake a couple of times now, and everytime I make it, it just tastes better and better. It is so moist and will stay that way if covered with plastic wrap and kept out of the fridge. For all you banana cake lovers, this is the one to try.

CARAMEL WALNUT BANANA TORTE
Always a hit, I got this recipe from the Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer instruction book. It's a bit complicated but it is more than worth the effort. My family and friends love it. I like to think it is better for you since it has no sugary frosting! Sometimes I sneak whole wheat flour and/or some flax seeds into the cake to make it healthier. When we have bananas that get too ripe I toss them in the freezer, then I have ripe bananas ready to use at all times, just defrost!
