Crazy Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Icing

I know what you’re thinking. How crazy can a banana cake with cream cheese icing be?

Well, first of all, this cake is crazy-good, but that’s not the reason for the name of the recipe. The reason I call this the crazy banana cake is because of the unusual baking and cooling methods that the recipe calls for.

Don’t worry. They’re not difficult. They’re just… well… kind of crazy!

I honestly forget where I got this recipe. I’ve been making it for years. It’s a strange recipe, so I’ll clarify a couple of things right off the top.
