Stuck with overripe bananas? Don't worry, they are a baking opportunity in disguise! Whip up some scrumptious Banana Walnut Cake and turn those bananas into a delicious treat. It's the perfect way to rescue them from going to waste.
You can halve the recipe if you want to bake only one cake but because I needed to use up my overripe bananas quickly, I made two cakes and they were gone in no time!
