Banana bread is excellent, yes, but sometimes you need something else. Like banana muffins, or this Banana-rama cake. It is so moist and soft, oh my goodness! It makes a cookie sheet’s worth, so it is perfect for taking to a potluck dinner. It has a cream cheese frosting that goes perfectly with it. Or you could use a buttercream frosting instead, if you aren’t a cream cheese fan.

Yum! I have some very ripe bananas and everything. It must be fate that I need to make this recipe! Love the new background too. Please tell me it is new because I have been so bad about stopping by lately!
I am always looking for new and yummy "banana" recipes – this recipe looks great!!! …as does the rest of your blog! 🙂
Wow, that looks so light and fluffy. I just want to eat it off the screen.
Once again – a great visit to your site. Need to find time to stop by more often!
YUM! im gonna make this soon!!
I just looked at my two very ripe bananas on the countertop tonight, wondering what to make, and then you 'appeared'…thanks – gonna have to try this. I'm WILD about cream cheese, so that's a very inviting combo for me. Thanks much for sharing.
Made this last week and whole family loved it! Making it again by request tonight. My grandmother makes a banana cake with a caramel type frosting. I would like to try the sheet cake with the caramel frosting too.
This sounds amazing!
