The Best Banana Cake Ever with Banana Whipped Topping

This Banana cake recipe is really good! Who wouldn't love warm banana cake with a banana whipped topping? I served the cake with some fresh fruit and a coffee at breakfast. A rainy morning, and warm banana cake. Comfort food at its finest!

I always love different techniques for baking or cooking. I think the real secret in this recipe is the blending of the wet ingredients before mixing. This recipe only calls for 1 banana in the cake and 1 banana in the frosting. I couldn't believe how much the banana flavour carried through the entire cake. Really good!
