    Here's a small confession. I love this Banana Cake recipe so much, that I will occasionally let my bananas get overripe on purpose. Just letting them sit on the counter until they start to get that speckled brown look. Then I can say, "Oops! Gotta salvage these poor unused banana somehow...I guess I'll just have to bake Banana Cake". Whether I'm baking a Cake Tee Cake or a slithering Snake Cake, this recipe is a How To Cake It go-to.

    NOTES

    Mash the bananas with your hands and stir in the buttermilk. Set aside.


    Beat Wet Ingredients

    Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla at medium high speed, with a paddle attachment, until light and fluffy. About 5-8 minutes. Reduce speed to low while adding the remaining ingredients. Add eggs, 2 at a time.
