I had three bananas turning a shade of black in the fruit basket today, which inspired me to make this fabulous banana cake recipe. It takes five bananas to make the cake as it is a very large banana cake. I had previously put some aging bananas in the freezer, so I could simply defrost them to make the cake without needed any fresh bananas.
This cake is a great one to bake at the start of a week, as when kept air tight, it stays moist for some time and is big enough to be included for most school lunches during the week.

Banana cake is my favourite
Hi PQ,
I tried this quick & easy banana cake recipe – it was not only delicious but huge! Both neighbours got a plate each, it went in lunch boxes for two days, dessert for two evenings, and a morning tea for me and some friends! Needless to say this is going to be on high rotation!!
