- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.

- Add a layer of whipped cream and crushed vanilla wafers, then top with the second cake layer.
- Frost the top and sides with the remaining whipped cream and garnish with additional crushed wafers and banana slices.
Notes
