Banana Cake

This is absolutely the best banana cake I have ever made and tasted.Wow! It was very moist and had a lot of banana flavor.It has soft texture too.It seems like such a simple recipe by the ingredients, but it sure does make an impressive tasting cake.I'm still making this cake and get lots of rave reviews from friends.You can use the whipped cream cheese frosting on this cake which is divine.
To accomplish this, I substituted cake flour in place of all-purpose flour.And you just gotta have vanilla extract in a cake dependent on the bananas you've got.If the banana is not ripe enough you have to add 1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence.I sprinkled the cake with icing powder or you can frost the cake with cream cheese frosting and pressed the walnuts onto the sides of the cake.
