Old Fashioned Banana Cake Pg 222

I have the same problem Ina had at Barefoot Contessa, too many overripe bananas on the counter. So I am always looking for ways to use them. This cake has been the best option so far. It has the texture of banana bread with the added flavor of the orange zest and the cream cheese frosting. It was very easy to put together and we thought very tasty. I appreciated the tip on how to quickly bring the eggs to room temperature. Also, in the frosting recipe it says to mix at low speed, and DON'T WHIP! In the past I have had a problem with this type of frosting being too runny. By following her instructions, this problem was eliminated. So I learned two helpful things from Ina while making this cake, which I will definitely make again. Maybe next time I'll try adding some Grand Marnier, it couldn't hurt. The only downside I see here is that I won't be encouraging my husband to eat so many bananas for his leg cramps, so we can enjoy this cake more often.
