Since this is more aptly called banana bread with frosting in my book, I am rating this against other banana breads, not cakes. Although this really is delicious, I would not make it again exactly the same. I believe it may be the greasiest banana bread I've ever had. I suspect the excess grease helps it seem extra moist, in addition to the lower temperature cooking. This recipe has plenty of naughty ingredients, but somehow they aren't showcased quite as well as in a more conventional cake. Perhaps the excess oil makes the sugar and banana flavor less powerful. If I make this bread again, will probably just cut the grease way down, then it will be fantastic bread! If this were simply titled 'Banana Bread VI', I'd give it 4 stars.

Wow this is what I fantasize about when I'm truly hungry, like when I'm coming down the mountain from a long hike. The prep time was more like 35 mins for me. Most of the time is taken up by cubing the chicken and thinly slicing the potatoes. Once you make it, you will understand that this dish could be made differently every time and still be fantastic. (Alternate what kind of soup, what vegetables, etc.) I put mine over basmati rice.

This was fantastic. It was perfect, but next time I will try adding even more bananas. 2 1/3 cups bananas is about 5 or 6. That must be pretty standard, but for me it wasn't quite banana-y enough. Maybe I should give it 5 ***** because I think it's the ideal banana bread, but I think whatever my Mom made was better.
