Banana Cake

Over the weekend, I bought some bananas from the market but it is only me alone eating them!! So I am left with so many ripe bananas hanging in my kitchen waiting to be either eaten or baked into a cake... I scout thru' Aunty Yochana's blog and happened to find the following recipe. Faithfully I followed it and ta da... here is my banana cake....
