I cannot stress enough how much you need to try this! I can pretty much promise that you will be making it regularly and that your stature in society as a fabulous baker will increase dramatically. Who doesn’t want that? Not only will you have the “looks” but you now have the “banana cake” to go with it. Irresistible combination.
So, this is the wildly popular “Best Ever Banana Cake” that has been flooding the internet. And, for good reason…it is the best ever. But, I have made just two minor changes…that make it even better: buttercream instead of cream cheese frosting and sheet cake pan rather than 9×13. I’ve made it both ways. Buttercream kicks A.
