This CAKE rocks! I like it bc it's not "bready," it definitely has the consistency of a cake. I cooked mine in a bundt pan for around 40 mins @ 350 degrees! Came out absolutely beautiful and oh so yummy! Great recipe!

This is a good cake. I baked in a Bundt pan for 45 minutes and I added 1 cup of chopped toasted walnuts, 2 tsps. of Cinnamon and 1/2 tsp. of Nutmeg. I used Buttermilk instead of sour milk. It was delicious, no frosting needed. Could sift on some powdered sugar for presentation.

I followed the recipe exactly, as I am a cook, and not much of a baker (this was only my second attempt at a cake). The result was a dense but delicious cake that everyone enjoyed. Even my girlfriend, who doesn't normally like cake, ate a second piece.

I am SO GLAD I didn't listen to the few reviews that were negative! I made this cake because I wanted to do something different with my ripe bananas besides making them into bread. I used Cream Cheese Frosting II for the frosting, and it worked beautifully with this cake. The other reviewers that rated it so poorly clearly were doing something wrong. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out beautiful. Thanks Carol!

Very moist! made it for a friends birthday and there was not a crumb left, everyone asked for the recipe. I thought it would be to sweet with the cream cheese icing, but it was perfect! Defintely a keeper.

I made this in two pans and frosted in between and on top with cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla. I also cut strawberries and put them in between and on the top layer and sprinkles with walnuts. Not only was the appearance beautiful, the cake was terrific!!! Rave reviews from co workers. I will keep and make this again and again. Oh and I used 4 bananas that were going bad. :D

I made this cake for father's day today, and my dad absolutely loved it. Taking advice from other reviews, I used 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup milk in place of the sour milk. I also added (at least) a teaspoon of cinnamon, and a cup of raisins. In a 13 x 9 pan, it took about 32 minutes for the center to be completely set. I was planning to frost the cake, but it was eaten before the cake could reach room tempurature! It was great and is definitely going in my recipe box.

Very moist. I didn't frost this cake. Yummy just plain from the oven. I did use sour cream and milk instead of the sour milk. My family woofed this down and I will make this cake again as soon as I get some over ripe bananas.

It was tasty, but I, too, didn't get light and fluffy - even double checked the recipe when the batter volume was so big and only 1 tsp baking powder - oh well, coupled with the soupy banana butter icing - it was an embarassment to me (I'm a retired pastry chef) but my son's college friends ate it up!

the best banana cake i ever made, just make sure you don't overbake it or else the cake loses its amazingly fluffy and moist texture. Also instead of 3/4 cup butter i used oil for half the amount and butter for the other half and it still tasted amazing. thanks for the wonderful, delicious recipe!

I made this for my son's first birthday and it was amazing! I used a cream cheese frosting and added a banana to it. A little chocolate frosting also tastes good (but only as an accent, not the whole cake). Don't bake up as fluffy as the pic, but still awesome!

This cake was wonderful! It's very moist and was a breeze to make. It has a great texture that's nothing like bread. I would recommend not using an extremely sweet icing because the taste of the cake is so good and the sweet will mask it too much. I'll be making this again for sure.

I really liked this recipe! Cake was very moist and very tasty! I did add 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg and cinnamon to give it an extra kick, as well as 1 cup of walnuts! Next time, I will add chocolate chips! Made the whipped cream cheese frosting to go along with cake. Will definitely add this to my recipe box!

Delicious! Very moist and cake-like, which is exactly what I was looking for. I also had a little bit of melted chocolate from another recipe (melted semi sweet choc chips) and I swirled it into the batter at the last minute. Yum!!! Like others suggested, I used the Cream Cheese Frosting II recipe from this site and it's great!
