Blue Ribbon Banana Cake image

This won 1st place in the cakes division at the Mayfest festival. I've made it a couple of times and it is soooo good!! If you let the cake set with the frosting on it for a little while the frosting gets hard and crunchy, i love it that way!!

This cake is too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
