How To Make banana cake
-
Step 1Cake: Preheat over to 350 degrees.

Step 3Grease & flour two 9 inch round cake pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

Step 4Syrup: While cake is baking, combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Heat until syrup-y, then add lemon; allow to cool.

Step 5Place one cake on a cake platter and prick holes in it with a fork. Place half of the sliced bananas on 1st layer & pour 1/2 of syrup over the bananas and cake. Place 2nd cake layer on top of the 1st. Prick holes, layer bananas, then use the last of the syrup.
