My Notes:

This cake is awesome... very moist and wonderful! I used my 9 x 13 pan and frosted half of it with store-bought cream cheese frosting (the other half I left unfrosted for my kids who said they wanted it plain!) I didn't put nuts in mine and I used sour cream instead of buttermilk. I also only had 4 Tbsp. of unsalted butter so the other 4 Tbsp. I used margarine. Overall it was quite delicious, so I hope you try this recipe next time you find you have some overly ripe bananas! :)
