My kids eat a lot of bananas. But sometimes they don't finish them on time and I'm left with some poor bananas that begin to turn quite quickly. But even then they never go to waste. I always end up using them in banana bread or even this quick and easy moist banana cake. The cream cheese frosting compliments this cake so well and will make you rush for another slice.
