Best Banana Cake Ever!

I'm a banana lover--banana bread, banana shakes, banana ice cream, banana cake, or just plain bananas--I'm a big fan!  
It seems like most banana cakes taste basically just like  banana bread, but this one is definitely cake.  It is the very best banana cake recipe I've ever found--it's awesome!  Don't be afraid to put the cake right from the hot oven into the freezer, but make sure you use a metal or pyrex baking dish.
