This is a family recipe and my husband's favorite. He always gets this for his birthday. I always buy the bananas well in advance because the more ripe they are, the more flavor that they will have.
Joe’s Nana’s Banana Cake w/Peanut Butter Frosting

Add to other ingredients and mix for 2 minutes on low speed. Add 1 cup mashed bananas (2 or 3 old bananas) 1/4 cup sour milk or buttermilk & 1 tsp vanilla.
