My niece asked, and as “overall best in aunty” I made her a banana cake.

It’s my first food post this year, I’ve done some gardening posts for the “In The Garden” segment. I’ve also edited and updated some old posts. I have an entire to-do list for blog posts I’ve not been able to get to. If there is any recipe you’d like to see here, leave a comment here, or send a DM or an email.

I have an older recipe for Banana Loaf using cake premix. This recipe details making Banana Loaf from scratch.
