This Vintage Cake With Loads Of Charm Will Sweep You Off Your Feet

Banana cake is so different than a banana bread. I used to love banana bread, but after trying this, I am hooked. It is easy, yet so much better. I personally love fluffy cakes over dense breads, so I am convinced this is the cake for me. I am also obsessed with bananas so that gives it a perfect touch of flavor for me. I think when I make it, I am going to add a dash of almond extract for a nutty flavor. It will do wonders, I think!

 

Check out what our friends over at Call Me PMC had to say about this:

“I tested this banana cake four times before getting it just like I wanted it. For me, this is the ideal mix of banana and cinnamon. I don’t like a strong banana flavor in desserts. You can taste the bananas and they keep this cake moist, but the banana flavor is not overwhelming. The cinnamon flavor is more prominent than the bananas.”

 

I have never made a vintage style cake before like this one, so I am excited that THIS awesome cake is the one that I will be trying first. Give it a try along with me!
