For best results, use very ripe bananas with brown spots. They add the most flavor and moisture to the cake. You can substitute melted butter for the margarine for a richer flavor. Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts, such as almonds, hazelnuts, or macadamia nuts. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1/2 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. To prevent the marshmallows from burning, you can tent the cake with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
