Best Banana Cake Recipe
I baked this cake at high altitude, about 7k feet elevation. It didn't rise as I expected, but that doesn't in one way compromise the deliciousness of the cake. Also, the top didn't get as brown as I wanted, so before removing I turned the oven to broil to get a tad bit more of golden brown on the overall top of the cake.
