Tips For Making Banana Spice Cake Mix Recipe

1. Use very ripe bananas: The more brown spots, the sweeter and more flavorful your bananas will be.
2. Mash the bananas well: This helps distribute the banana flavor throughout the cake.
3. Don’t overmix: Mix just until the ingredients are combined for a tender cake.
4. Grease your pan well: This helps prevent sticking, especially if you’re using a Bundt pan.
5. Let the cake cool before glazing: Allow the cake to settle before adding the warm rum glaze.
