I thought this recipe was fantastic! My husband is a firm believer that you must have eggs in order for a cake to taste great. He was pleasantly surprised to make an exception with this cake. He thought it was the best banana cake he ever tasted. I made this cake several times and tinkered with it a bit. I found that the baking soda left a slight aftertaste, so I reduced the baking soda to 1 1/2 tsp., added 1/2 tsp. baking POWDER, added 1/2-3/4 tsp. cinnamon, added 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, and 1/2 - 1 cup chopped walnuts to the batter. It came out perfect! You can also bake this in a 13 x 9 inch pan for 35-40 minutes, as cupcakes for 20-23 minutes, or as mini loaves for 30-40 minutes.

I can't say that I cared for this recipe...even with the changes that were suggested by other members. The cake was just just too heavy.

This was such a great change from the banana bread I always made. The mayo made me nervous, but all were pleasantly suprised with this delicious cake. I did't use the nuts in the icing and it only took (my oven) 30 min to bake. I will be making this one over and over again.

The other day I had a few over ripe bananas in the fruit bowl and went in search for an easy recipe for banana cake - this was it! Buttermilk is hard to find in England and i love that this recipe uses ingredients that i've always got in the cupboard. (I took advice from other reviews and lessened the baking soda to 1 1/2 tsp and added 1/2 tsp of baking powder). The cake was a huge hit with work colleagues!

I baked this in a jelly roll pan to make banana cake "bars". I think the recipe calls for too much baking soda, as the resulting cake had a bitter aftertaste (from unreacted baking soda) and was overly brown (another symptom of too much soda).

My husband will never ask for banana bread again after this wonderful cake. I also used mashed banana in the frosting. I made a sheet cake instead, which made it a real snap.

i was skeptical about the recipe because of the inclusion of mayo, but reading all the rave reviews, i thought i'd give it a try, and it was the worst batch of banana cakes i've ever tried. the taste of the mayo was quite foul, and it ruined the otherwise pleasant cake. the cake was, however, extremely simple to make, and judging from the number of great reviews it got, i may have done something wrong, so give it a try if you want.

We added extra white sugar in the batter and 1 tsp. vanilla in the batter. We only cooked for 35 minutes. Very Very good!
