i was surprised how much my family loved this cake despite being chocolate freaks. it's a great way to use overly ripe bananas. i didn't have buttermilk, i used sour cream instead. sooooo moist! i also used a cream cheese frosting recipe from this side. delicious!

This is so moist. No mistaking it for banana bread! I actually didn't have buttermilk. I used regular 1% milk and it was just fine.

Try roasting the bananas for a slightly sweeter, richer flavor

I was disappointed by this. With all of the other reviews I thought this would be delicious. But found it just OK.

Excellent banana cake recipe! It was easy, fuss-free, and versatile enough to play around with the ingredients and not mess it up. :) I didn't steer too far from the original. I only used brown sugar (and reduced the total sugar to scant 1 cup), used 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and the rest AP. Added 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1 TB ground flax seed for boost of Omega 3's. :) The batter was slightly thicker than a typical cake, but I guess that is to be expected with a heavier cake like this. I baked in a bundt pan for 35 minutes (our oven runs a bit on the hot side, so just do the toothpick test!), and it was perfectly done. The color is a gorgeous, golden/deep brown, and looked lovely with a dusting of powdered sugar. A great way to use up a lot of bananas, and substituting/adding/removing a few ingredients seemed to not mess with it much at all. :)

Made this cake last week and it was really good. I used My own peanut butter icing for the top which sent it right over the top. The cake was a little too heavy for my taste, but the fam thoght it was great!

I made this cake by the recipe using 4 defrosted bananas, a then a second time by adding a cup of oatmeal and some raisins. My friends agreed the second recipe was even better, with what they called "the goodies." I'll save this recipe but continue to add the goodies. I think some shredded coconut would also be tasty.

This cake was good. The only thing I changed was substituting sour cream for the buttermilk as I didn't have any. I think my bananas were a bit on the large side so I probably could've used just 3. Not a biggie, just resulted in a wee-bit too much batter in my 9x13 pan so had to cook a little longer and the top got a little brown. Also, it's not sweet enough at all. I will definitely have to make an icing for it. Other than that, very good. MOIST! Nice flavor! Will make again.

I am just eating it fresh and warm :P It is very delicious! I used milk + lemon instead of buttermilk and whole grain vs. enriched unbleached white flour half to half. Next time I will use less sugar probably.

Fabulous. I used peacans instead of walnuts and ten minutes into baking, added a "ring" of peacans on the top, then glazed everything with a brown sugar and butter glaze. The result was a beautiful golden brown finish. For a thicker cake, I used an 8" round baking dish. If you prefer it to be a little thinner, I'd recommend something larger, say, a 9 or 10"-- doesn't have to be round though.

This recipe is the BOMB! Everyone l-o-v-e-d it! Super moist; needed only the lightest white glaze. I added an additional banana and some pumpkin pie spices, but really, the original recipe can hold its own.

I loved it. It was so moist. I ran out of white flour and used about a 1/3 cup wheat flour. Didn't change any liquids and it was still very moist.

This was so yummy! I did a couple of different things. I used sour cream instead of buttermilk and I added mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. I put this in my mini cupcake pan for 16 minutes and they were PERFECT!!! My daughter is very picky, and she asked for more "mini monkeys" (I love the name she made up for them). I was thrilled to find something that she liked. These were so sweet with the chocolate chips that we didn't need frosting.

I'm not much of a banana lover but this cake was wonderful! I followed the recipe to the T and it turned out GREAT! Very moist and held together nicely. I baked it in a bundt pan and I did pour a little powdered sugar glaze over the top and added some chopped walnuts on top. It presented nicely & tasted fabulous! This recipe is definitely a keeper!!! Thanks! (see pic I uploaded of this cake)

I modified this awesome recipe to make it a bit more healthy and it turned out GREAT! I used 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce instead of butter, eggbeaters instead of eggs and (don't gasp) cottage cheese for buttermilk. I also used cake flour and added 1tsp vanilla. One last thing - I used 1/2 each white and brown sugars. I baked it in a 9x13 pan and it cooked in less than 30 minutes Can you say YUM!
