Triple-Layer Banana Cake
A year-round family favorite, the recipe for this moist layer cake was passed on to me by my mother. My grandchildren can't keep their fingers out of the icing, which tastes just like peanut butter fudge.

Reviews
The perfect balance of sweet banana flavor and peanut butter richness.
Only tried the cake part; don't really like peanut butter. Cake tasted just like banana bread; not what I was hoping for, but good.
