"Another recipe found @ portuguesedinerdotcom/ (aka Tia Maria's Blog for the Portuguese Foodie), where I definitely hit the mother-lode of comfort food recipes typical of the Azorean Islands & rooted in the Portuguese cuisine. Although most recipes at the site are her own, this recipe was contributed by Mary Connie De Pao, a devoted follower of Maria's blog. My Siggi is esp fond of bananas, so I expect this cake to be an early choice to make after Culinary Quest #3 is concluded. Prep time was not given & was estimated by me. ENJOY!"
