So I've been in a baking mood lately...Yes it's a little crazy with two kids under 2 years old. But, when I get a total of 3 hours of sleep and there's no hope of getting a nap I have to keep myself crazy busy or I remember how exhausted I am...So after failed attempts at homemade bread and cinnamon rolls, I decided to use up my ridiculously ripe bananas and try this banana cake...yummm It's SO good and moist (I can't believe I just used one of my top 3 grossest words...) Here are the recipes and I'm also posting this to Basic BitesBanana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

- 2 1/2 c. flour
- 1 1/4 tsp. baking powder

- 4 mashed bananas, large
- 2 large eggs

That is so funny, I just made a banana cake too! It is scott's fav. I love that this recipe has TONS of powdered sugar, I will have to try it next time. When the recipe I made said to put it in the freezer so it would be "moist" I was grossed out too! I'm curious, what are your other top 2 gross words : )
