If you've got some unappetizing, overripe bananas sitting on the shelf, now's the perfect time to use them up. This wonderful banana cake is easy to make and perfect for both a family celebration and a more casual Sunday tea party. In addition to bananas, the crust is also flavored with chopped walnuts, orange zest, and vanilla extract—the aroma will fill the entire house. Once the crust has cooled completely, spread it with a quick cream cheese frosting and garnish with walnut halves. The cake is soft and moist, with light citrus notes that perfectly balance the banana sweetness.
