Tips and Procedures:

Choose bananas that are very ripe. Look for dark skin with black or brown spots on them. Those bananas are best for baking.
For a more festive look, top with whipped cream before serving.
Don't forget to sift the vanilla cake mix before adding it in. Flour lumps wouldn't be fun to eat 😉
