Banana Poppyseed Cake

I love banana cake and I love poppyseed cake, so why not a banana poppyseed cake? The combo is actually quite delicious.
The bananas give the cake flavor and moistness, where the poppyseed just adds some texture to the cake. A topping of a simple buttercream frosting is how the cake gets finished off. So give this a try the next time you have some over ripe bananas laying around.
