    I have this in the oven now. I did add a dash of baking powder, cinnamon and instead of real sugar I used fake sugar (diabetic here). I think it will do really well.

      Grams we can’t always find an exact match for the picture we need so we get it as close as we can and this one probably has something else added to it.

    Whenever our bananas start to turn too ripe for our family’s palates, I pop them straight in the freezer (skin and all) until I’m ready to make banana bread, banana cookies, etc. When deciding to make something with them, I just take out the number of bananas I think I will need, place them in a bowl (either at room temperature or in the fridge) to thaw. Once thawed, there will be some liquid and very squishy bananas in the bowl. Just pop off the stems and squeeze out the liquified bananas. (I throw the peels in our compost pile or directly buried in the garden.) The previously frozen bananas blend up easily and it works with all stages of ripe bananas. 🙂

    Just made this cake and I am eating some now. It’s very good and tasty. I didn’t frost it and unless you have to have frosting it doesn’t really need it.

      No you don’t need to frost it. It is just like eating a banana muffin. I like to use this recipe and make cupcakes with vanilla frosting – the kids love them too.
