Yummy banana cake. I made it as written and frosted it with orange cream cheese frosting. We enjoyed this very much and will make it again. Thanks for sharing. Made for Spring PAC 2012.

Nummy flavor and easy to make. We didn't frost ours and it was good that way. This would be great with a cream cheese frosting. Made for Spring PAC 2012.
