Vegan Lemon Lime Banana Bread Cake

Someone has acquired more than a handful of ripening bananas.
With over a dozen bananas burning a hole on the counter (freezing most of them for ice cream/smoothie purposes), it only made sense to make a delicious bread.
Or in this instance- banana bread cake. 
Banana bread is usually a fall time enjoyment for me, but today heavy abundance called for creative need.
Sweet, citrus flared treat is deliciously sweetened with utmost signature unpeeled yellow flesh, crunchy walnuts, and kissed with real lemon and lime juices while creamy, smooth banana coconut cream lovingly drapes cooled cake.

3 small ripened bananas
2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tablespoon agave nectar

unsweetened coconut (optional)

Banana Cream Drizzle

2 small ripened bananas
1/4 cup lite coconut milk
