Glazed Banana Sheet Cake

Call it an elevated banana bread or just a slice a heaven, this glazed banana sheet cake is nothing short of perfection. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and or warm up on a chilly day, and watch as this cake recipe turns from a fun afternoon activity to a weekly ritual.

In all honesty, this cake and I have a love-hate relationship. Made with bananas and walnuts this recipe is one heck of a con artist. I tell myself don't worry its like banana bread ( which is not even the healthy by the way) as I cut my fourth slice and don't realize my carb overload till I have about licked the entire sheet pan clean. My words of advice: its not banana bread its better. But you know what here's to 2022 and doing as we wish, so here's how to make this delicious, correction, addictively delicious dessert.
