Notes

  • Do not forget the nonstick spray on the bowl of your slow cooker! It will make clean up a million times easier.
  • If you have leftover cake and leftover sliced bananas, make sure you do not store the cake with the bananas. In fact, I'd probably discard leftover banana slices as they will brown and get mushy.
  • Want to have even more fun with this? Instead of vanilla ice cream, try a flavor with peanut butter like peanut butter ripple or even chocolate peanut butter.
