I generally do not like bananas. There texture is just weird to me and it just taste that good to me. But banana bread, muffins or in this case a cake is a completely different story. I loved this banana cake. And it was very banana-y. I was trying to think of a good filling buttercream flavor that would pair well with the cream cheese outside and then Nutella! came to me. Well Nutella kinda pairs well with anything but with this cake and frosting I thought it was pretty lovely.
And three cakes! I had found small cake pans and have been wanting to use them so bad and a bunch of bananas that were turning brown was the perfect excuse. I used two batches of batter to make all these cakes, I'll go find the exact inches of the pans and let you know in a bit.
So what do you think of the glazed part?! I love making cakes now. It's so much fun to frost the cake, trying to find the most perfect decoration for it, and the mini cakes are just so much more appealing to me. I love a big cake and i love cupcakes but their is something about a personalized size cake that is so special, you can hold in in your hands and it just seems precious to me.
What kind of cake to make next? Who knows! I'm feeling something fruity or caramel-y or ..... I must looks through some cookbooks for inspiration.
Hope everyone is having a Happy Father's Day, hopefully you did something nice for your dad. As usual my fathers day dessert extravaganza with be a few days late.
