This Cake Is Bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S

 Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting
I absolutely love cooking and baking with homegrown fruits. My dad is always offering his bananas to guests and family—he makes daiquiris with them, puts them on his cereal, makes smoothies…you name it, he does it. I’m not a big fan of bananas but I’m a very big fan of this cake. The combined flavors of the cream cheese, the walnuts, and the bananas work really well to compliment each other. If you want to go for banana overload, pair this dessert with a banana daiquiri. Or…a glass of cold milk works too :)
