Banana Cake Recipe

When my bananas ripen too much I either bake banana bread or banana cake. Somehow I misplaced my really great banana bread recipe and the one I tried that I found on the Internet didn't turn out too good. If you have a good one please send it to me.

This is my banana cake recipe.
