So I have been wanting to make banana cake for a while but I wanted something sweeter this time. I decided on cheesecake also because I haven't made cheesecake on my own. The water bath always kept me away from making it. Silly, I know! I used a pretty small cake pan so it was easy to fill up the outer pan with water without having it overfill. The cheesecake turned out pretty good. I didn't know banana extract was a thing, but that is what gave it such a strong banana flavor. I could have made banana bread, but I don't really like bread a whole lot like that. It's good for the first bite, but I easily get tired of it. For the cheesecake crust I used Nilla Wafers, I had to since it goes well with bananas. I messed up on the crust because I over baked it in the beginning. After taking the crust out of the oven, it still felt a tiny bit soft. It wasn't super soft and I haven't ate cheesecake in a while so I don't remember how hard the crust should be. Anyways, I poured in my batter and baked my cheesecake, and there was no cracks! It looked super spongey like spongebob and tasted great. The crust was a bit hard to break but it actually turned out really good. I made some banana whipped cream to top it off and it was perfect. Not too sweet and super light. The minion movie was also coming out next week! So this banana dessert was perfect for that occassion. The movie was 10/10, I loved it. James is so adorable and I loved goomi and his character design. I'll give this recipe 5/5 cactuses. Everything was pretty easy to follow and my cake turned out just how I imagined it. The banana flavor was really there and the consistency was good.
