I'm not sure where the name came from, but I do know it's one great cake. I like to make this cake for birthdays, so I'm often running to the store in pursuit of ripe bananas. In most stores it's a lot easier to find green bananas than ripe ones.
Ripe bananas are best though, because they give the cake a great flavor.
Oprah swears by this cake and we have served it to so many people with rave reviews. They'll be waiting for them to ripen so you can make this fantastic treat.
