Banana Cake

June 20th, 2007 by Chef Mom

This is a recipe I got from a site called Ronnie’s Easy Recipes. The site is no longer available. I converted the measurements from metric to US standard measures. The cake is wonderfully moist and could be served without the cream cheese frosting if you are watching your calories.
