BANANA CAKE WITH MAPLE ICING

I found this old book of handwritten recipes.. have tried a few already but hadn’t tried the banana cake one yet because I have so many other banana recipes.. but today I was inspired because my son brought home some maple donuts and I had some bananas that had to be used immediately so I thought hmmm a banana cake with maple icing would be just delish!! So here we are trying out this old recipe and pairing it with my maple cream icing,  Let me know on TRIED & TRUE RECIPES what you think of this recipe if you try it.
