Banana Rum Cake (Depression Cake)

What better time than the present to introduce another depression style cake?

This time a Banana Rum Cake that is a one bowl mix, no weird ingredients (except for the Rum for some people!) and no egg replacers needed!

If you have a freezer full of overripe bananas then you are half way there!

While I made this cake into a super simple 9″ X 13″ pan style cake, this recipe will bake beautifully into 2- 8″ round pans as well.

This cake is so moist and delicious with or without the Rum Sugar glaze you are going to go BANANAS over this new recipe!

Since we have been in Quarantine 2020 I have been making these types of videos for entertainment purposes only.

If you would like to see the mixing of this banana cake recipe, skip to 12 minutes in the video.
