This is an impromptu baking just to consume the leftover ripe bananas. I was hesitating whether or not to decorate the cake a little bit so that it could look prettier. So, I sacrifice one banana for the toppings. Well, the whole banana cake doesn’t really look outstanding... however, the individual slices of banana cake looks lovely. The cake tastes good too with my own measurement of ingredients. Everything is just nice, the taste, the texture and the look. It was my first attempt of baking a banana cake. Overall, I’m quite satisfied with this fruitful baking session.
Hmm...yummy! This is my breakfast for the next day. I gave some to my parents and hubby gobbled up the rest.

So pretty with the banana slices artfully arranged on the top. And a nice alternative to the usual banana bread in a loaf pan.
