I was not overly thrilled with this recipe. Maybe I did something wrong because it took forever to bake in my oven and the outside turned out hard while the inside was too moist. The flavor was ok but not especially sweet or banana-ish for a cake. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

The recipe is good, but here are some alterations i made to make it better. Instead of all white sugar i did 1/2 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup white sugar. I added 4 whole bananas to give it extra banana flavor. Also I added chocolate chips to the cake after I put it in the pan already. Whenever I bring this cake to work it gets gobbled up so quickly, no one has a chance for 2nds!

I used all-purpose flour and yogurt instead of sour cream and a little less sugar. I also added chocolate chips and cream cheese icing. It really had great banana flavor, but wasn't really a cake. It was just like banana bread, probably because of my changes.

Worth the try and you wont' be dissapointed!

Nice and moist, although it wasn't as sweet as I would expect a cake to be. My son insisted that it was bread and not cake.

We liked this recipe. I'm sure it would have been good as is, but I made some changes. I doubled the recipe and baked in a 13 x 9 pan, no time or temp adjustments needed. I used 4 mashed bananas and it worked fine. I also threw in a cup of chopped walnuts, and a handful of chocolate chips and a handful of toasted coconut. I am quite sure I will be making this recipe again soon!

Okay cake. I used another reviewer's advice and added the cream cheese frosting and I think it took away from the cake. Would try again with sprinkled powder sugar.

Excellent cake! It was very moist, smelled and tasted fabulous, especially with a thick layer of cream cheese frosting! Don't forget to add the vanilla, as the written directions skip that part even though it is listed in the ingredient list.

It was a great recipe and I started it of by getting all the ingredients, but this is what I ended up happening to my recipe: I had to subsitute the white sugar for brown sugar and since I bought whole wheat flour instead of cake flour then I used that instead. In the end I made a healthier version of the recipe with a great taste! I served it with chocolate ice-cream and my husband and family really enjoyed it! If you want a good way to substitute the recipe and make it heart-healthy it turns out great!

I didn't use as much sugar (because ripe bananas are already sweet enough for me!) and used half white and half light brown sugar. I also put in too many bananas so it came out mushy... so this is just an okay cake for me.

I was wavering between this and the Banana Cake VI, and I'm really glad I picked this one! Used all-purpose flour and scaled the recipe to 18 servings for a two-layer cake, added chocolate chips to the batter, then iced with cream cheese icing. I love banana everything and this far exceeded even my high hopes! I couldn't get enough of it. Two layers in 9" round pans baked for about 25 minutes, so watch it if you alter it some. Absolutely wonderful and I can't wait to have an excuse to make it again.

Personally, I like rich cakes. So I topped almost all the ingredients. Everyone who tried the cake loved the first variation the most (it has beautiful aroma, was dense, rich, moist and satisfying). Very different from the usual banana cake (bread like) recipes. Thanks! 1 cup of banana instead of what was called for. Replaced sour cream with same amount of full cream milk and approx. 1 Tbsp of cream cheese. Replaced 2/3 of white sugar with palm sugar. Added these too; 1/2 tsp of banana essence, 1/2 tsp of grounded cinnamon & 1/8 tsp of nutmeg powder. generously sprinkled assortment of nuts (peanut & almond sliced, pecans roughly chopped & raisins). In another batch, I made some changes; mixed grounded nuts (assortment) and chunky nuts (assorted with raisins) & chocolate chips into the batter. Because of the inclusion of choco chips, I reduced the sugar amount to maintain the sweetness. Top it with icing sugar n tiny weeny bit of cinnamon.

I really liked this recipe. I didn't have sour cream so I used a little milk. I put it into a 9x13 pan and sprinkled chopped walnuts on top. Yum. Not too sweet and more like a snack cake.

This cake turned out great. Soft and moist, not the least bit dry. A great afternoon tea for the family. For a little crunch add chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter, mmmm delish.

Excellent recipe! If you've ever tried one of the banana cakes sold in the tropical countries, then this thing is as close as it gets!! I have gathered quite a few banana cake recipes over the years, but this one is head and shoulders above the rest! Used 3 medium bananas. Substituted cake flour for all-purpose 1:1. Didn't have butter on hand, so used 8Tbls of corn oil. Added 1 cup(~100g) of chopped walnuts, everything else is exactly as listed in the recipe. Don't reduce sugar, it's really at it's best with 1 1/4 cups! Baked in the 8.5 x 4.5inch pound cake rectangle at 340F for 1hour. Results are above all expectations!

This recipe is a real winner. I followed the recipe exactly as written. This little cake turned out beautifully. I added some buttercream frosting and served it for a family dinner dessert. It was a hit. Highly recommended if you like banana.

This is a very moist cake. I did use 2 cups mashed bananas, used half white sugar and half brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg; so because of all the changes is why I only give it 4 stars. Over all it is a pretty good cake

This was outstanding! I took it to Bible study and all the ladies wanted the recipe! I cut the sugar down to 1 cup as others recommended and added the vanilla with the bananas. I used plain yogurt instead of sour cream. I topped it with whipped cream . It was fairly simple and really delicious!
