Notes
- To keep your cake extra moist, store it covered in the refrigerator.
- A gentle warm-up in the microwave (15-20 seconds) will enhance the banana flavor.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed vanilla wafers for added texture.
- For an even more intense banana flavor, use bananas that are speckled with brown spots; they're sweeter!
