Banana Cake With Rum Icing
I knew i wanted to combine bananas with rum in a cake and could never find a recipe i liked, so i came up with one on my own and it is scrumptious! The icing is a little tricky to make but well worth the effort, it melts in your mouth! there are several reasons why i use baby food instead of mashing bananas 1. It’s a lot less work. 2. It gives the cake a clean look without all the black spots. 3. No sitting around waiting for bananas to ripen. In my house bananas never go ripe, my kids love them to much.
