We celebrated a coworker’s birthday in the office on Monday. Since we were getting together for a breakfast meeting, I wanted to make something that worked for the early time but was also sweet enough to count as a birthday treat.
I had ripe bananas, a lemon, and a box of spice mix. This recipe was just what I was looking for.
The flavor of the cake was great, but I thought the texture was a little too light and fluffy. I didn’t necessarily need this to be a banana BREAD, but I wanted it to be denser than it was.
But the frosting? Oh man, so good! I made it with a stick of melted butter, three cups of powdered sugar, two teaspoons of vanilla, two TABLEspoons of spiced rum, and a few splashes of milk until the consistency was just right.
The coworker whose birthday we were celebrating said, “The cake’s good, but I really like the frosting.” Another coworker and the McHusband were fans of the combo, and it didn’t take long for the McHusband’s office to gobble up the half-a-Bundt I sent in with him.
Would I make the cake part again? Probably not since I didn’t like the texture very much. But the icing? Oh, we will definitely be seeing it again.
