My Life Lately: Banana Cake Recipe!!~

These past weeks have been a whirlwind! 🌀 Between my 30km weekly runs, writing job, walking the dogs 🐕🐕, house cleaning, and a second house renovation 🛠️, it’s been a lot! I hoped to stick to my weekly writing goal, but life kept getting in the way, and PMS didn’t help. 😅

Me writing this article 😂

But I still made time for one thing I love: baking. This week, I baked a banana cake 🍌, and it was amazing! It’s one of the first recipes I learned, and it always brings me comfort. There’s something so satisfying about mashing bananas, mixing it all up, and seeing that golden loaf come out of the oven. 🥰

Since writing’s been on the back burner, I thought I’d share my banana cake recipe. It’s easy, fun, and perfect when you need a pick-me-up (or have some ripe bananas lying around!). Here’s how to make it: 🍰👇:
