Our Banana Cake Recipe has only been heightened by the addition of the star of our show...apples. What a combination for making a super-moist, delicious, easy apple cake.
You could actually just sift a little powdered sugar on the top and you would have a wonderful fresh apple cake that would be great to take with you to work for coffee break. HOWEVER, those of us with that sweet tooth, couldn't resist spreading a nice, thick layer of Cream Cheese Frosting on the top.
This banana cake recipe would be one of the easy banana cake recipes, but why not put an extra layer of moist goodness by adding just one diced apple. Still an easy recipe, right?

Kitchen Tip: When you have bananas that are overripe and no time to use them in a recipe, put them right in your freezer where they will be just fine until you need them. When you defrost them, they're already mushy, so you can just measure and add directly to your recipe. I used two bananas that were previously frozen in this recipe...no waste of overripe bananas and perfect additions to this recipe.
