Gorgeous cake. I made it for my son's 2nd birthday as bananas are his favourite. It was easy, moist, delicious. We served it warm with sweet whipped cream and it was gone within 5 minutes! Thanks for posting xx

Tonight was a total Kittencal dinner except for the vegetables. We had the Chicken Wellington with Creamy Mushroom Sauce, with the Easy Parmesan Potato Rounds and this for dessert. I really love your recipes. Keep posting them. ChefRaylene

This is really good. My DH and I had it while it was still warm with whipped cream on top. My grandson worked a late shift last night, and when I got up this morning 3/4 of the cake was gone! I'm guessing that he liked it too! Thanks, Kitten.
