BANANA CAKE WITH PUDDING ICING
Easy, one-bowl cake with a divine icing. This is the ULTIMATE banana cake, great way to use ripe bananas, too. The icing makes a lot, but if you're like me, I'm lucky if half of it makes it onto the cake and not in my mouth/lol. Also, great to turn the cake onto a platter, so you can cover the sides with icing, too. If you like bananas, I GUARANTEEE you will LOVE this cake!!
