Banana Flip Snack Cake Recipe. If you grew up eating Banana Flips or Banana Twins this is the recipe you have been looking for.
.
For the rest of us who didn’t indulge in the famous Banana Flip as children the best way, I can describe these is they taste just like a twinkie. A twinkie with banana flavor.
The soft sponge cake and that old school frosting are like snack cake comfort food. The frosting alone I could eat with a spoon.
I sprinkle the top of the Banana Flip Snack Cake with powdered sugar. Then cut into bars. These hand-held cake bars are so delicious. The perfect little snack cake.
I make these for my kids and they go crazy for them. They are just like the store-bought boxes of banana twins or other snack cakes.

Banana Flip Snack Cake Tips
To make these you need Jelly Roll Pans.
The cake mix will be thinly spread. Try your best to spread it as evenly as possible. After baking I trim off the edges so don’t worry too much about it not be even edge to edge.
While the cake is baking start making the frosting.
Store leftover cakes in an airtight container.
Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the Banana Flip Snack Cake right before serving. The moist cake may absorb the powdered sugar.

I am not an experienced baker. And I was wondering if the sugar in the frosting is granulated sugar or powdered sugar? If you could answer that question for me I would really appreciate it!!! Thank you.
