You could easily make this recipe into a loaf, but the addition of a sweet fluffy vanilla icing makes this simple cake so much better and more special. The original recipe was an easy banana bread recipe. You could also make this recipe into banana muffins, just adjust the cooking time down so that they don’t over bake.

There’s no milk at all in the cake of this simple recipe, and no need to worry about having buttermilk, or even a buttermilk substitute. If fact you probably have all the ingredients to make it in your pantry, as long as you have some overripe bananas.
Storing Bananas
This one of my favourite easy recipes for using up extra bananas. If you find that you have too many at once, or not enough, you can also freeze bananas. No need to turn them into mashed banana first, just but them in a ziplock bag, peeled or even unpeeled and store them in the freezer.
