Striped Banana Cake

Saw Jo's zebra striped sponge cake, it was so pretty and the stripes were so nicely done. I had to give it a go myself. As you can see from the photograph, I have not been too successful. I did not do a sponge cake but I did a banana cake because I had a bunch of totally ripen bananas sitting in my fruit basket. Anyway, though the stripes were not too successful, the cake was really aromatic. In this thread, I will post only the recipe for the banana cake and will not write about how to do the stripes till I have better result on my next trial.
