Hi everyone, I'm looking for a recipe that my host keeps raving about. She was a past consultant and wants me to make this cake but she has lost the recipe. Here is what she has told me. You cook it in the Deep Dish Baker. Its a banana cake with strawberries and bananas on top of it. I would be most grateful if anyone has any idea where I could find this recipe for her. Thanks everyone!!! :)
