Ali Stone, photographer & blogger behind Those White Walls, has taught me oh so many things over the past few years. How to properly shoot a camera (who the heck knew there were that many features on one little camera??), to always use Mexican vanilla extract instead when baking, & that her Bubby’s Banana Cake is one of the best desserts. Ever. Luckily I was able to taste this banana cake for myself recently when Ali shared the incredible recipe with me. I mean, hello, just look at that ooey gooey center of the chocolate chip stuffed cake. Pure perfection. Thankfully Ali agreed to let me share the recipe right here for you guys! Scroll down to get the super easy & delicious Banana Cake recipe that you’re going LOVE.
