To Die For Banana Cake with Vanilla Bean Frosting

This cake is truly over the top delectable! It’s so irresistible and  thanks to the vanilla bean frosting it’s perfectly decadent. I made it this past Sunday since I was having my family over for dinner and it was definitely loved by all. And I was so glad we had just a few slices left for the next day since I made the double batch (which is the recipe posted below).

You’ll love how incredibly easy and quick it is to make this cake. The cake batter only uses one bowl then you just wash it out and use that same one for the frosting. This will likely become one of your go to desserts for that reason alone.
