Banana Cake
Banana Cake uses very ripe mashed bananas combined with dark brown sugar and warming spices to produce a moist, tender cake with deep banana flavor and hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. The batter includes sour cream and vegetable oil for richness and softness, and it is baked in a single pan until set. Cream cheese frosting tops the cake for a smooth, tangy complement.
