APPLE BANANA CAKE
Do you always have apples and bananas on hand that need to be used? I am constantly looking for something to do with over ripe bananas and apples that are about to go bad on me. This Apple Banana cake is quick and easy and your friends and family will love it. Throw it together for dessert or to go with your morning coffee or for the kids to have as a snack with a tall glass of milk. We love this apple banana cake with cream cheese frosting but you could just sprinkle on some powdered sugar or use your favorite icing on this cake.
