A few weeks ago, I had some bananas that needed to be turned into something. I wanted to make a sweet treat and this is what I ended up creating. It was delicious. I think my husband finished off half the cake himself.
The cake is moist and flavorful. The sour cream frosting was the perfect accompaniment. The sour cream gave the sweet frosting just enough tang. You could even turn the cake into a sheet cake. Just be sure to double the frosting.
Remember that I will be on Studio 5 today at 11 am!

I made this cake last night…both my daughter & my husband told me that it’s absolutely delicious. Only thing I did different was used cream cheese instead of sour cream in the frosting. Recommend!!!
I am going to make this recipe. I am assuming that the bananas get added along with the other ingredients even though it does not state that in the instructions.
