This old fashioned dessert makes a guest appearance at our Thanksgiving table every year. It's full of flavorful ingredients and reminds me of my grandmas house.

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°. Stir together first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; stir in bananas and next 5 ingredients, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour batter into 3 greased round pans or bundt pan.
Step 2
Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks, and cool completely (about 1 hour).
Step 3
Frost with your favorite cream cheese or butter cream frosting if desired. We think it's just as good by itself!
