This is not your typical cake. It's leaps and bounds better. It's a delicious cross between banana bread and the most deliciously moist cake. You'll definitely want to make this yourself. Especially if you have any bananas turning a shade or two darker than yellow. Yes. This is one of those incredible ways to use them up...that is IF you have bananas going bad. We don't very often, so when I get to use them in something, I prefer making this cake instead of bread.

Sift the following together:
2 1/2 c. flour

This cake looks way yummy. I'm definitely going to have to try this.
ReplyDeleteAnd to answer your questions, we would love to move back to the NW, but that isn't going to happen any time soon, although Utah has grown on me, and we live in a great area, so it has made sticking around here easier. I'm also from the Seattle area!
That looks so so good!!
