For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of melted butter. Feel free to add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter for extra flavor. Chopped walnuts or pecans can be added to the batter for added texture and flavor. This cake is delicious on its own, but it also pairs well with a simple vanilla glaze or cream cheese frosting. For a more intense banana flavor, use overripe bananas.
