Stop wasting food - use the overripe bananas in a cake. I don't always have five overripe bananas, but I peel them and keep them in the freezer until I have enough for this cake.
This cake is very easy to make, just remember only to melt the butter, not heat it.
If you have some liquor, Bailey´s, Grand Marnier or Licor 43 will make the cake even better. Add 1-2 tbsp. depending on how strong liquor flavour you want.
