This is a fantastic banana cake that I had at a playdate about a month ago at Julia's house. Being a family recipe, you know it's special. Julia is quite the chef and everything she makes is delicious and this was cake was no different.
I'm not exactly sure what classifies banana cake as a cake and say banana bread as a bread, but there is definitely a difference. This cake is lighter in texture than a typical dense banana bread, so maybe that's the point of differentiation.
The recipe says to use 2-3 bananas. I used 3 bananas when I made mine and I think it came out wonderfully. I suppose you can just use whatever amount you have on hand. Also, Julia's recipe notes that you may substitute sour milk (1/4 cup reg. milk + 1 tsp vinegar) for the buttermilk in the recipe, but it's not exactly the same as using good ole buttermilk.
