Notes
- Use our guide on how to ripen bananas in 20 minutes!
- Test for done-ness with a toothpick. Insert it into the center of the cake after 23 minutes in the oven. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If the toothpick comes out wet, leave the cake in the oven for another 2 minutes and check again.
- Store covered. Cover any leftovers with plastic wrap or foil and store at room temperature. You can store it right in the pan OR transfer leftover slices of cake to an airtight container!
- Banana Pudding Poke Cake is another delicious banana treat you must try!
