Fantastic! I added chocolate chips and used it for my daughter's birthday cake. It was perfect.

This cake is AMAZING. I used *really* ripe bananas. I made these alterations: Bake at 325 for 1 hr 10 min, use 3 1/4 c flour, cut sugar to 3/4 c of brown, 3/4 c of white, 4 tsp vanilla, add 2 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp cinnamon, cut the lemon juice, add a handful of shredded coconut. I didn't put it in the freezer and it came out MOIST and tasty. Not bread-like at all!

I doubled the recipe to make a sheet cake and left out the nuts, I also didn't put it in the freezer. This was fantastic! A nice change from banana bread and fed a large group, very easy to make, the icing was a nice touch as well.

The cake was GREAT although I made little changes. (1) I didn’t have buttermilk, so I used milk instead. (2) I had ¼ cup butter, so I added ½ cup vegetable oil. (3) I added more than 1 ½ cup of mashed bananas, I just wanted to get rid of the plenty ripe bananas I had. (4) I baked the cake for 1hr 5mins it took long time to be ready. My mum LOVED it!!!

Have no fear of the cake melting other things in the freezer..ever since I found this recipe, I put all my cakes directly into my upright freezer when it comes out of the oven. I put pot holders on the shelf to be sure it doesn't burn them. Cake is out of this world delicious. ENJOY!!

I am not exaggerating when I say this is hands-down the best banana cake I have ever had. My husband and I made it for his mom's birthday, and it got rave reviews. The icing was to die for, and the cake was light, fluffy and banana-y, but not bread like at all. It was just incredible, so two thumbs up for this one! I'd make it again in a second!

I have made this cake again and again and it comes out perfect everytime! If I make it as a 2-layer cake, I just bake it for a shorter amount of time. Thanks for this family favorite!

Loved this cake. The only thing I did different was I added about a 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg to the batter. It is yummy.

Phenomenal! I made this cake to bring to work and my co-workers keep asking me to make it again. I added some cinnamon and bananas to the cream cheese frosting which was really yummy!

Very delicious cake. And I definitely thought this was like cake. A number of reviewers have written "it tastes like banana bread" which, of course it will, it's essentially the same ingredients. But the texture is cake, lighter and less dense than banana bread. Very sweet, but good. I was too cowardly to bake it at 275F, I didn't want a failure on my hands, so I cooked it at 325 after a first fearful 15 minutes at 275. And I had no desire to melt everything else in my freezer by putting a hot cake into it, so I just let the cake cool on the counter and it is moist even so. I haven't yet decided if I'll frost it or not. EDIT- After a day, the texture changes, becomes much more dense.

I liked the cake. It is a heavy cake, but not as heavy as bread. I used 2 cups banana - it has to be ripe or over-ripe banana to achieve the flavor. Doubled the vanilla I baked it at 275 for 1-1/2 hours. I skipped the part about putting it in the freezer (not necessary!) We used 1/2 recipe for the frosting and topped with pecans that were caramelized in butter and brown sugar and a little cinnamon. Be careful with this one - a moment on the lip, a lifetime on the hip. It is a special occasion cake.

One must be patient when baking this cake, since it does take much longer than 1 hr to cook. Just check with the ole toothpick every so often. Mine baked for approximately 1 1/2 hrs. I made it exactly as written, with the addition of 3/4 cup of chopped walnuts. The frosting was too much so I froze half for another use. The cake is moist & the frosting delicious. If using a glass pan, place the pan on a metal rack in the freezer to keep dish from breaking. Will make again.

I made this for the first time today; followed the directions/ingredients exactly and it came out perfectly! One of the best cakes I've ever had! I cut the frosting recipe in 1/2 which was more than enough for the top of the cake. I will make this recipe every time I have over-ripe bananas!
