This Banana Custard Cake combines the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with a creamy vanilla custard layer baked right into the middle. The cake is moist and tender, with a subtle aroma of vanilla and banana. The custard layer adds a silky texture that contrasts beautifully with the fluffy cake. Perfectly baked until golden, this cake is a delightful treat for any occasion.
