This sweet Banana Bundt Cake was sent to us from the award-winning pastry chef Megan Romano on behalf of her Chocolate + Spice bakery in Las Vegas, NV. One can find a variety of artisan chocolates and hand-made pastry treats at the bakery, and we think it's great that Romano is sharing one of her great recipes so we can try it at home!
