How to create:

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9in glass pie dish with butter & line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.  

2.In a mixing bowl, add bananas and mash. Then, add the remainder of wet ingredients and mix until fully combined. 

3.In a separate mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients. Whisk together.

4.Add dry ingredients to wet, and gently mix. Ensure all is fully combined, but do not over mix.

5.Transfer to your prepared pie dish and bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Ours takes about 35 mins!

6.Allow to cool and serve! Top with any of your favorite toppings. We love edible rose petals, sliced almonds, and a drizzle Joy or Vitality olive oil. 

 
This would be a perfect addition to your next brunch gathering! This cake is best enjoyed immediately, once fully cooled. Enjoy Lisa Lipari's Easter (or anytime!) recipe and follow us for more!
