I had a lot of over-ripe bananas. Usually I would make banana bread but decided for a change to make this banana pound cake. I love pound cake so much because of its texture and with banana, it’s even better.
This pound cake was made the typical way a pound cake is made, but with the addition of mashed bananas. It was baked for 1 hour until it was fully formed and perfectly moist. My family loved this banana pound cake, and I even brought some to work. It can be eaten as a snack or breakfast with a cup of coffee or tea. Everyone loved it!
