How long was it left out? Was it covered? What about the temperature it was left out. Did you taste it? What looks wrong?
I baked it on Thurs. and froze it, then put it in the fridge Fri. afternoon and set it out late last night. It was double wrapped in saran wrap and then foil. The house is cool,probably 68, (hot flashes
) It tastes good but the banana in the cake is brown. Doesn't look the best.....Something tells me this is going to be one of those days!
oxidation strikes again.
bananas, like apples, turn brown easily from exposure to the air.

trick for next time..
slice bananas into a bowl that has lemon juice in it (works for apples too)
the acid of the juice helps to neutralize the compounds in the fruit that react with the oxygen in the air to turn it brown.
the slices only need to be in there for about 30 seconds or so and it doesn't change the taste.
Thanks to both of you for your help, I was afraid of that ![]()
I've even done that before but just forgot! Even worse...I put my fondant monkeys in the oven and forgot to take them out before starting the oven for the choc. cake that will replace the banana. I'm really glad my 2 yr. old granddaughter's not a tough customer. Back to the drawing board........
You said it doesn't look good but what do you mean by that?
It was well wrapped. It should have been fine. I've left them on the counter before w/o problems. Did you taste the cake?
Soooo sorry to hear about your monkeys
Sounds like your day has not had a good beginning.......turn it around. Think good thoughts.....everything will turn out o.k.
It tastes fine but the bananas are brown, not very appealing. Do you think it would still be ok to use? I'm guessing yes since I just took the choc. one out of the oven. It'll be a good day...it'll be a good day...it'll be a good day...
well, who's to tell when you smother it in chocolate icing or ganache???
chocolate + bananas = YUMMMMMMMMMMMM
