Tips:

– For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a layer of sliced strawberries or crushed strawberries along with the bananas.

– If you prefer a crunchier topping, you can toast the walnuts before adding them to the top.

– Let the cake cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld together better.
