Banana-Apple Spice Cake
I found this recipe online. I was looking for a banana cake recipe because I had some overly ripened bananas. The original recipe didn’t call for apple but since I had some apples that were starting to go bad I decided to add them to the recipe. It is a very moist cake and super delicious. I frosted with some vanilla hazelnut buttercream that I had left over but it would go wonderfully with cream cheese frosting.
