Yesterday was my husband's birthday and of course I wanted to bake his cake myself rather than buy one. His favorite cake is banana cake and I definitely wanted to attempt to make one. I was a little nervous considering that my banana bread didn't turn out how I wanted it to. However, I asked some of my friends for their banana cake recipes and my friend Jamie gave me her grandmother's recipe - it did NOT disappoint!!!! THANK YOU JAMIE!!!!!!!!

Pig Rating: It was the Pig's birthday and the Pig was impressed! He kept going on about how "really good" this cake was and he ate two or three pieces I think. : )
Mrs. Pig Rating: YUMMMMMM! I love banana anything and this cake was awesome! I think next time I will cook the butter a little more for the frosting...I got impatient but it still turned out amazing!
Friends of the Pigs: They LOVED this cake also. I love impressing friends : ) Thanks again Jamie!

I'm glad you guy's liked it! :) Awww. Your picture captures it amazingly well...I love that it's half-eaten.
Yum, someone brought a banana cake to Thanksgiving, but I didn't get a chance to try it.... Maybe I'll use this recipe to make one.
That cake looks delicious! I may try that too....Jamie -- thanks for sharing your recipe with April! ;)
Picture is fab and even though I don't like bananas I almost wanna make the cake after seeing your picture. LOL
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMMY! :)
