This cake reminds me of my favorite childhood memory. When I was little, I loved cutting up slices of banana and eating them with a spoonful of peanut butter.

So, this recipe feels like an elevated yet nostalgic version of my childhood snack. The cake batter is made in one bowl, making it a very easy dessert to prepare.

If you want to make this cake even more decadent and are a fan of chocolate, I recommend adding 3/4 cup of chocolate chips to the batter.
