RE: Need Recipe for Banana Cake

Sharyl, my kid's favorite banana cake is made from a regular white or yellow cake mix, add l/2 tsp. baking soda, and two ripe bananas. Bake as usual. This was on the back of a cake mix years ago and I have been making it for years. It makes a very moist banana cake. I usually frost it with either a caramel frosting or creme cheese frosting.
