Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh strawberries and bananas will give your cake the best flavor. If you can't find fresh berries, you can use frozen berries that have been thawed and drained.
Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the Cake at the Right Temperature: The cake should be baked at 350°F (175°C). If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cake will take too long to bake and it will be dry.
Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before you frost the cake, let it cool completely. This will help the frosting to set properly.
