Notes

Expert Tip: To make your banana cake extra moist and flavorful, be sure to use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and softer they are, which will enhance the flavor and texture of your cake.
Refrigerate: If you have any leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator. Simply place the cake in an airtight container and it will keep well for up to 3 days.
Freeze: This cake can also be frozen. Wrap the cooled cake in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Reheat Instructions: To reheat, let the cake come to room temperature. You can also warm individual slices in the microwave for about 20 seconds.
