Why is my banana cake not moist?
You need to use the ripe bananas or slightly over ripe bananas to add flavor to your cakes, as the green or not so ripe bananas will be tasteless and starchy. For your cake to be moist it is essential to mash the ripe bananas well so that the bananas can release more moisture in the cake batter. This will make the moist and much more tastier.
