Soft As A Cloud- Banana Cake
Now that I’m working from home, I find myself wandering around the kitchen, looking to stuff my face, more frequently than usual…a bit like Yogi Bear, minus the pic-a-nic basket- but with the bearlike appetite.

The intense red, lightness & the sheer deliciousness of the…
