Nut Banana Cake for Pesach

If you don’t use potato starch, oil, or cocoa powder on Pesach, and you have long since given up on creating a really good Pesach cake with your minimal ingredients, I’m here to help! The banana in this recipe replaces any starch necessary without imparting a banana taste. The banana also acts as a silky binder, helping to achieve a perfect balance of sweet and moist. Once, I tried this recipe with an entire banana instead of just half. Big mistake; the cake was too sweet and way too wet. Stick with these ratios. They work!
