Not really a pound cake. Nice and moist. I didn't have brown sugar so I used white sugar and it was fine. I also cheated because it was a busy day and used Smuckers Caramel Sauce.

Amazing cake! Make sure to mix this in a very large mixing bowl. Also while baking, it came over the top of the bundt pan just a bit so I put a pan underneath it. Next time (and there will be a next time) I may put some in a small bread pan so it won't spill over. I took the advice of another and put the caramel glaze over the cake after I took it out of the pan. Do NOT skip the home-made caramel glaze! Absolutely wonderful.

Awesome cake - easy to make. I only made 1 change. After making the glaze, I added about 1/4 cup of Praline Liquor to the glaze, poked holes in the cake and spooned the glaze over bottom and let it sit for about 10 minutes, turned it out and poked additional holes and added rest of glaze.

Very good, I received many remarks about how wonderful it was. A nice change from traditional banana bread. I followed the recipe as far as the ingredients go. I baked it in a bundt cake pan and it rose above the rim of the pan. It also took 1 hr and 35min in my oven to finish baking. I allowed the cake to cool for the 10 min in the pan then turned it out onto a cooling rack. Then I used a spoon to slowly drizzle the glaze over the entire cake. It turned out very nice and pretty. Very moist! Make sure to allow to cool completely before covering.

OMG this recipe came out sooooo good after my modifications. I was hooked from the first bite! I halved the recipe and used: whole wheat flour instead of regular, organic cane sugar instead of white sugar , Extra virgin olive oil instead of veggie shortening,and soy milk instead of regular milk I ommited the pecans because they were not available at the time. I also put the cakes in two buttered aluminum loave pans since I did not have any bundt pans. I was expecting a catastrophe since when I was mixing the butters and sugars the olive oil floated a bit on top but in the end I got this beautiful delicious pound cake like dessert drizzled with tasty caramel sauce. The sauce was so good I see myself making it to coincide with some apples! This recipe is so easy and can be very great for events like garnishing with strawberries or bananas and leaving a bowl of caramel glaze in the middle, yum yum!

I made this last night for my birthday. This is one of the best banana cakes ever, and the carmel sauce was really wonderful. My son does not like nuts so I just omited them and sprinkled them on half of the top of the cake after I glazed it. Absolutely wonderful. I will definately be making this again.. Thanks.

Very good made as is.A very moist cake, but I would not call it a pound cake--still delicious! I skipped the caramel glaze and served it with sliced bananas, strawberries and hot fudge sauce--it was excellent!! Will try the glaze next time.This was a great ending to an early spring grilled BBQ meal.
