My favorite birthday cake is a Banana Nut Cake. I have special memories of my mother making a Banana Nut Cake for me and my twin sister on our birthday. It was not unusual for her to make it a week ahead and freeze it and then set it out the morning of our birthday and by that evening is was ready to eat. It would be so moist and delicious. This cake is made with ripe bananas and the icing is made with a ripe banana in a butter cream icing.
To keep the tradition, on occasions my daughters and daughter-in-law have made this cake for me on my birthday and that is what has inspired me to start this group.
