BANANA CAKE image

This cake is very simple, but sometimes simple things are best! The cake is moist and full of banana flavor. The caramel type frosting tops the cake off great. I bet a peanut butter or chocolate glaze would be good also. If you don't have ripe bananas, her tip is great and works wonderfully!
