Banana walnut cake

Banana Walnut Cake is a super easy one layer ultra moist cake loaded with nutty and banana flavors and and you can frost with rich cream cheese .
Whether its a cake, bread, cupcakes, or muffins, I just love baking with bananas, there is a  nice smell and the whole house smells of a nice spicy bake. The flavours of cardamom and cinnamon sticks out well.  Most of the time, I wait for the bananas  to go ripe so I can jump on it to bake something out of it !

As a kid we had some bakes like this but never got to get any form out so mum always bakes fresh out of fruits and nuts very often .mainly we would have  brownies or cookies made with nuts. It wasn’t until I tasted a slice of banana bread made with walnuts that I was truly overwhelmed . It all turned the epitome of comfort food .

The cake itself is moist and flat as I baked in a 8" pan but sturdy enough to handle it. If you want to frost you can go ahead with  cream cheese frosting. What's an easy way to fixing the overripe bananas , and is ridiculously easy.
I didn't use any equipments other than my hand whisker. So go ahead and try out super easy cake...
