Let’s be honest: those three bananas on your counter aren’t "ripening." They are actively planning a coup. They’ve reached that stage of spotted brown existence where they’re too mushy for cereal but too sentimental to throw away.
You could make standard banana bread, but we aren't here for "standard." We’re here for a cake that tastes like a hug from a cocoa bean. This is the ultimate "I’m a sophisticated baker" camouflage for "I forgot I bought fruit ten days ago."
