World's Best Banana Cake

I thought I'd share with you my favourite cake recipe. I love it because it's delicious, easy and has some healthy ingredients! This recipe comes from a little gem of a book my mum gave me many years ago. It's the Catholic Women's League of Australia - Toowoomba Diocese Cook Book and this recipe is from Daphne Shankey of Roma. Thanks Daphne!

I've added cream cheese icing from another recipe which just makes it even better.
