Banana Cake With Espresso Frosting
Our Banana Cake with Espresso Frosting is a very special cake and makes a fabulous dessert for any occasion. I really could just have a small bowl of the frosing and call it dessert, that frosting is amazing, nice and creamy with a hint of espresso, for a coffee lover it is a little bit of heaven. The Banana cake has a perfect blend of spice and is a great cake for the frosting. There is a little banana and a little nut in just about every bite. This is a very rich cake and has really been a hit here at the cottage and serveral covered dish events.
