TRIPLE YUM! BANANA CAKE



Triple Yum! Banana Cake image

This is such a wonderful cake! Moist and a wonderful banana flavor that is perfectly coupled with the cream cheese frosting. Not too sweet, not overpowering and perfects with time. This makes a VERY impressive 3 layer cake! I used 100 proof Banana Liqueur. My three layers were done at about 25 minutes. Plan to make the cake one day in advance and store covered in refrigerator overnight for the best results. Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE CINNAMON BANANA CAKE



Chocolate Cinnamon Banana Cake image

Another reciped from the Cake Mix Doctor. This one combines layer upon layer of flavor and is so moist, it almost doesn't need a frosting, but it takstes great with either chocolate cream cheese frosting, or a caramel frosting. Tastes best if allowed to sit overnight, but it is amazing right away.
