Hi Joyce!
Don’t you love the cream cheese frosting and banana cake! The perfect pairing. My husband loves this cake! Thanks for stopping by and sharing with us. We love hearing from our friends.
Happy Holidays!

Hi Debbie!
I’ve honestly never made this recipe in a silicone cupcake pan, so I can’t give you a definitive answer. You would need to change the bake time for sure as you are just doing cupcakes and not an entire cake. I would think the oven temp may need to be reduced slightly. Freezer time would be about 30 minutes. If the freezer time goes longer, that is okay.
Hope this helps.

Hi Kathleen!
Yes! It can be made into a layered cake, just watch your bake times. Enjoy. I’m thinking of making this cake this weekend. I have lots of banana’s begging to be made into this cake. lol
Enjoy!

Hi Cindy!
I know it seems strange to bake this cake at a lower temp but the reason for doing this is that you are going to place that cake immediately in the Freezer. Higher temps going directly into a freezer can break the baking dish and cause issues with this recipe. You can certainly bake it at 350 and see how it turns out. I’ve always only made this cake exactly per the directions. Sometimes I have had to increase the bake times because of our altitude but it turns out so moist every single time. Freezing is key to this cake turning out head and shoulders above other banana cakes. I know some have told me at the lower temp it has take 90 minutes to bake. I’ve only ever had to go over by 10-15 minutes and only on rare occasions. Hope this helps.
Have a Wonderful Christmas. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hi Teresa!
This is such a yummy cake and would be great for your Holiday meal! The link for the carrot cake is https://www.norinesnest.com/worlds-best-carrot-cake/ it’s had hundreds of reviews and thousands of pins and is a favorite of my friends here at Norine’s Nest. I hope you’ll give it a try too. I do not have a good recipe for date bar icebox cake. I’m so sorry. You may want to go onto Facebook and ask in my recipe sharing group page “The Best of Your Nest”. I’ll be one of the many amazing cooks over there may have a recipe for you.
Thank you so much for stopping by and visiting with me. I hope you love this cake as much as we do. Happy Holiday Season to you and your Nest!
Happy Nesting!
