Bananas always look so irresistible to me at the markets. They’re cheap and tasty, and I always buy too many.
When they start to get too ripe to use, I pop them in little snap lock bags in the freezer. And when there’s too many in the freezer, I make this cake.
Quick, simple, tasty & less unhealthy than other similar cakes.
