This banana cake is everything you want from a homestyle layer cake — moist, deeply banana-flavored, and finished with a thick swoop of vanilla frosting. Ripe, well-mashed bananas do the heavy lifting here, blending into a fluffy butter-and-sugar base along with a warm hint of cinnamon for extra depth. The batter comes together with a gentle alternating mix-and-fold method that keeps the crumb tender and light, then bakes up into a golden, springy layer that's easy to slice. Once cooled, it gets topped with a smooth, sweet frosting whipped until perfectly spreadable. Cut into twelve generous squares, it's a crowd-pleasing dessert that works beautifully for potlucks, lunchboxes, or an afternoon treat. It's a genuinely solid pick if you're baking for a wheat free table and still want that classic, from-scratch banana cake experience.
