I originally found this delicious recipe on Ingrid’s blog, 3 B’s…Baseball, Baking & Books. She found it on Bunny’s blog, Bunny’s Warm Oven, and Bunny found it on Taste of Home. The Brown Butter Glaze that coats this cake so perfectly, was found on Recipezaar.

I made this yesterday. Wowzers, it's awesome. So moist and delicious. The icing is a nice smooth flavor, not too sweet. I'm gonna keep this icing recipe and use it on other cakes too. It will be great on a pumpkin cake.

On a sugar high these days. This cake looks amazing, gonna have to use up my old bananas making this. Thanks for the post!
Amanda says
Amanda – Hmm, I'm not sure why there were lumps. I just followed the instructions in the recipe, did you deviate from that at all? Did you use butter or margarine? That might make a difference. I used unsalted butter, pure vanilla, sifted powdered sugar and whole milk.
Amanda says
It must be an Amanda thing: your recipe came on the exact day I was trying to figure out what to do with a bunch of bananas before they went bad…again. I made this last night and husband and I had a piece as soon as we could, talk about amazing! My glaze isn't as pretty as yours. I sifted my heart out and still ended up with lumps in my confectioner's sugar. How did you get your glaze so thick and perfect?

Katrina says
Think, think, think….I'm desperately trying to think of a reason to use the four small overripe bananas I've got here and make this cake! Well, I can clearly see why I should make it, I was hoping for an occasion. It just might not matter, I may just make it anyway. Bananas are my favorite thing! Okay, that and chocolate and…..;) It looks great, Amanda!
