Need a new recipe for those over ripe bananas? I did some experimenting with a carrot cake recipe and came up with this banana cake. It will be my new go to for my over ripe bananas and cream cheese frosting is always a good idea! But it would also be good with a chocolate frosting or maybe a peanut butter frosting?!?
