Banana Nut Cake

This cake is PERFECT as it is but if you find you must make a change or two you might add some spices such as allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon or a mix of your favorite flavors.  You can use pecans or walnuts, I used pecans.  You can make the cake in a 13 x 9 baking pan instead of a tube pan.  Something else I like to do is apply half of the icing while the cake is still hot, poking holes in the cake allowing some of the icing to run inside.  I then add the rest of the icing after the cake cools.  If you make yours in a baking pan you can easily do this but remember to adjust your cooking time according to your pan.
