Banana Bread Cake – Banana Bread in cake form! Soft, moist and absolutely delicious! PLUS you can win a KitchenAid Mixer!
Aloha from Hawaii! I’m sitting in my awesome resort room as I’m typing this out. It is gorgeous here!
It’s a bit humid and hot – but totally worth it. We rented modpeds today. Never ever in my wildest dreams, did I ever think I could/would ride a moped! We rode around the island a bit and then snorkled out in turtle beach. I saw some cool looking fish but no turtles. Wah.
So, that’s two things off my bucket list! Plus, we just got home from a luau dinner! That’s three things off my bucket list! 🙂
The entertainment was so cool but the food, unfortunately, wasn’t that great.
They had a buffet smorgasbord of all sorts of foods. I tried poi, which I guess is made from taro root – um, not so good. Yuck. They had pulled pork that was overly dry and a few side dishes I could have done without.
The coconut jello was yummy as well as their crab salad. Yum.
The dessert there? Not so awesome. They had an upside down pineapple cake and a coconut cake to choose from.
Neither were outstanding and I was wishing I was back home with a slice of this moist, soft, banana bread cake.
This cake is seriously awesome. Just like its name says, it’s basically a banana bread cooked in a bundt pan. It’s soft, moist, and banana-ey. 😉 It has a delicious crust of sugar and an icing drizzle that gives it a touch more sweetness.
All of this beauty was made in my KitchenAid mixer!
And guess what? You can win your very own KitchenAid mixer in the giveaway below!
