*** Mother always waited for cake to cool,then sliced fresh bananas and layered between the
cake layers, iced with a thin glaze made of confectioner's sugar and milk. Sometimes she
doubled this recipe for the Weaver Reunion and made several layers. Always top with glaze
over entire cake.

*** Very moist cake.
