Nutella-Banana Cake

Every once in a while, I have three overripe bananas on the kitchen counter. I have been doing many versions of banana breads and cakes. I have been freezing those overripe bananas for making smoothies for later. Last week I followed the recipe from Cooking Light. Instead of making a loaf, I baked it in a square pan. I didn't use butter, used 3 bananas instead of 2 and used almonds instead of hazelnuts. I did not glaze it.

This recipe is a winner.My family simply loved this cake.
