Everyone needs a few banana recipes in their collection. This snack cake is a perfect after school snack for kids coming home with great big appetites. Because is it just my kids that come home wanting more of a meal than a snack after school? They take a snack (or two, in my son’s case) and a lunch to school and yet when they get home around 4:00 it is like my children have been replaced with little scavenger animals who have been deprived of food for quite some time. So, I am always on the lookout for great after school snacks and this Banana Toffee Cake fits the bill.
