Banana Magic Cake is incredibly easy with 3 delicious layers made with one ultra simple batter! It creates the most banana-licious dessert ever!
This recipe is an all time favorite- it doesnt require any special ingredients or ‘magic’ it just comes out phenomenal every single time!
I know you may have seen a lot of ‘magic cakes’ out there but this one, knocks those other ones out of the park with the outrageous banana throughout!
This is one of those recipes that everyone thinks you spent so much time on, especially when they see the layers and just assume it took you half a day to create this beauty!
First off my lovely foodie friends, I must say that I am not a trained baker by any means, but HEY, I can cook my behind off in the kitchen any day!… but baking? can be a challenge sometimes depending on what I’m attempting to make lol
Baking is a bit more of a challenge because you can’t easily add your own twist to the recipe unless you know the chemistry of baking. This recipe is super easy and quick to make. I would love to try replacing some of the milk with some type of alcohol…Stay tuned!
It is a unique custard and cake combination. I may try adding some eggnog for my christmas version of this cake and see how that turns out!
BAKER NOTE: If you make this cake don’t be discouraged with the batter. It is thin. As you pour the batter in the pan you may keep thinking “this isn’t going to work”! It will turn out beautifully and the custard set up and won’t be runny at all. Even my picky husband enjoyed a couple pieces with his coffee in the morning then brought some to his co-workers, they told him there was something about the cake that made them want to keep coming back for more! Its THAT good.
This cake is truely Melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Everyone that tried it absolutely loved it, and my hubby enjoyed it so much that he asked me to make him a second one a few days later! A winner and a keeper for sure.
