As I’m working my way through some of the more interesting-sounding recipes from this cookbook, I find myself liking it more and more and am thinking about buying it. I think what’s so appealing about it is that it’s really a home baking book. Lots of home-y comforting baked goods, just what I love. This banana cake was fantastic. Super easy to make, and really moist and full of banana goodness. I didn’t make the optional glaze, because it really didn’t need it.
