Banana & Lemon Checkerboard Cake {Holiday Recipe Club}

Piece of Cake

Welcome to the Mardi Gras edition of Holiday Recipe Club! Interested in finding out more about the club, or want to join the fun? Contact me here!

Mardi Gras is the ultimate celebration.

A day of final sins (so to speak) before the fasting for lent.

Many people choose to participate in lent, others do it for religious reasons, and others simply love Mardi Gras celebrations (can you blame them?).

What ever you decide to do, it needs to be done with cake. Especially if that cake has 2 flavors! 

The required ingredients for this post were either bananas, bourbon, or andouille sausage. I chose to go with bananas.

They are one of my favorite fruits, and New Orleans is the home of bananas foster!
