Carrot Banana Cake

Did I happen to tell you how simply wonderful this carrot banana cake was or how miracuously after my 3 year old ( who was helping stir in the moist ingredients) spilled half the batter how it still turned out simply fantastic and not only wowed my boyfriend who requested this strange cake for his birthday but wowed my children into eating every last slice! I did a fresh whipped cream frosting with a hint of vanilla added in before I whipped it up. It would be equally fantastic with your favorite cream cheese icing too! This is such a GREAT cake for Fall and one I plan to re-make here real soon, the texture is firm but sooo moist!I doubled the recipe but you can do a loaf cake or sheet cake with the measurements as they are. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
