Recipe Reviews
Great quick and tasty recipe to use up bananas the kids have insisted on liking then not eating!! The cake is far more popular and doesn't last as long as the bananas!!
Can’t get any better then this
highly recomended
omg. It was amazing. I took it out of the oven sooner so that the middle was still a bit gooey. It lasted 12 hours and was gone.
