I found a recipe on Pinterest--love that website for a banana cake---and since I had bananas that were over ripe AND it was my 65th b-day AND banana anything is my fave---I tried it out and it is a winner----. Ingredients were the normal stuff but how it was baked was the kicker. You bake it in a 275* oven for 70 minutes, take it out and put it in the freezer for 45 minutes. Wow--came out kind of dense but very moist and delicious. Will be my go to. Will share if wanted.

What kind of frosting?  Thanks!

[wagirl]

Ok, will see if I can post the  recipe and I used choc frosting, as thats what I had already, but any type would be good, but none is good too--so good on its own.
