The cake is a simple banana cake and my frosting separated. I consider myself to be an advanced baker and I had bananas I needed to use. I had all the ingredients for this so I tried it. It's good, but nothing great. The frosting tasted great except it separated so was ruined.

This was my first attempt at baking a cake from scratch. My husband had always had banana cake from our local bakery since he was little. So the pressure was on! I did add sliced of banana between the two layers and everyone loved it! Also it makes a lot of frosting so there is plenty for top, middle and sides. Serve with a nice vanilla bean ice cream and get ready for seconds!
