Tips for Success
- Ripe Bananas : Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture. The darker the peel, the better!
- Cool Completely : Ensure the cake is fully cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
- Frosting Consistency : If the frosting feels too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to firm up.
- Make-Ahead : You can prepare the cake layers up to a day ahead and store them tightly wrapped in plastic at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.
