Banana Sheet Cake Recipe
Total Time: 40 minutes
I’ve had this recipe ever since I graduated high school. My momma gave me a recipe book of family favorite recipes as a graduation gift. Yeah that’s right, I got a recipe book for my graduation present! No glamorous, magical senior trip or gifts for me, haha. I’m surprised my parents didn’t give me a suitcase and helped me pack and move out, haha.
