Cake:
Spray a 13x9-inch baking pan.Line bottom of pan with parchment paper and spray paper. - In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar on high until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in banana, then buttermilk. On low gradually beat in flour mixture just until incorporated; stir in walnuts. Spread in pan . Bake for 50 minutes, until toothpick inserted into center test clean. Cool cake in pan 30 minutes on rack; invert onto rack; let cool, peel off paper. Invert onto oval serving platter. with flat surface. Cover, and chill for 3 hours or up to 1 day.
- Frosting:
In a large bowl, beat butter until creamy. On low, gradually beat in sugar. Beat in vanilla and milk. Add food coloring. a teeny bit at a time and cocoa powder, to tint the frosting until the color resembles cooked spaghetti, Be careful because if you add to much, you can't go back. At's always better to add just a tiny bit at a time. - Spread 2 cups of the frosting in an even thin coat over cake.
Fill a pastry bag with some of the remaining frosting. Use a #5 plain piping tip . Beginning at bottom edge of cake, pipe "spaghetti" strands around sides, looping and overlapping all over the bottom area working upward. Using up frosting and refilling bag as needed, continue pipping so strands are densely piped around sides, extend those nearest top slightly higher than top edge of cake, creating a well.
