GRANDMA RILEY'S BANANA CAKE



Grandma Riley's Banana Cake image

This favorite recipe has been passed down through my husband's family. His grandmother wrote this out for me shortly after we were married. She copied it from a recipe that her mother had written out for her many years before. These handwritten treasures in my recipe box bring back so many fond memories. -Jamie Dunn, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I have never tasted a banana bread that I liked because my Grandma always made this cake instead when there were overripe bananas, and no banana bread can compare to this!
