Your New Favorite Potluck Banana Cake!

I love making this cake because it tastes wonderful and it makes a good amount. I love to bring a dish to a potluck that will feed a lot of people. I usually cut the pieces smaller. This makes more servings and I figure that everyone is wanting to try a bunch of foods so it works out better this way. Sometimes when I make this make I will also slice up some strawberries and throw that on top as a garnishment. This gives it a pop of color and looks really pretty, not to mention is a delicious add on. This cake is now a favorite of mine to make. I have never had a complaint. I have only given out this recipes like a million times!
