I needed a quick dessert for a last minute dinner. This was a hit. Everyone loved it and asked for seconds. The entire 9x13 cake was gone. I used 1 cup of banana instead of 3/4. I also added 1 tsp of baking soda, 1 tsp of vanilla and 1/4 cup of spiced rum. This cake was so light and fluffy and soooo delicious. A nice change from the denser muffins and breads I usually make with bananas. I sprinkled it with powdered sugar due to lack of time, next time I might try it with a cream cheese frosting sprinkled with chopped nuts. Thanks for a great, easy recipe!

I make this cake all the time for family functions and I ALWAYS get compliments on it. I make the glaze a lot thinner because the cake is really so good that you don't need a lot of icing on it. Icing the cake as thick as the picture shows doesn't add anything to the cake except calories.

I got this recipe last Thursday and decided to surprise my family for Labor day! Boy, were they deliciously surprised. They really enjoyed the flavor which all said it tasted very much like banana pudding. It was really easy to make. For the frosting, I simply opted to dust the cake with powdered sugar lightly. I make/sell cakes and from our gathering, I have four orders already.

Very, very disappointed. I was so looking forward to making this cake. Because of many good reviews, I was certain that it would be a hit. Well, was it not only just a cake that tasted like banana bread. The glaze (per recipe) was so sickeningly sweet, I had to brush my teeth just to get the taste out of my mouth. I followed this recipe to a "T", so I know I made no mistakes to the original. I don't know, maybe if I had used cream cheese frosting, as some other people did, I may have been happy with it. But as it stands right now, I will not waste my time again.

This cake was a breeze to make and tasted good. It was very moist (almost too moist). I think I may use a little less pudding and bananas next time but other than that it had a great banana taste.

This is a very moist cake and has good flavor. I am not sure if it is called a pudding cake because pudding is part of the recipe or if it is because the cake actually has a pudding like consistency. I think it is a great doctored cake recipe but would probably choose a different recipe if I was trying to impress. Having said that... it is my most requested cake by the church youth group. :^)

The cake was too sweet! I used the Duncan Hines Classic Yellow Cake and Richfood Instant Banana Cream. I also used milk instead of water.

Cake came out really moist. I didn't have any banana pudding so I made this cake with DH Banana Supreme and Vanilla pudding. It came out light and moist.

Family loved it. Moist and not too dense, great flavor. Nice change from using my black bananas in regular banana bread.

This is a great recipe for a potluck. No one will ever know just how easy it is to make and it always comes out moist and delicious. I have changed the glaze up a few times just to make it different...sometimes I use melted chocolate to lightly drizzle the finished, cooled cake.

Very ordinary, nothing special. No disguising it's a doctored up cake mix. I made this many years ago when it first appeared in a magazine advertisement. Not bad if you're just looking for something that'll pass. Making your own delicious banana cake doesn't require a whole lot more effort and reaps a far superior reward.

Yummy! I used applesauce instead of oil, added 1 cup chocolate chips and walnuts, and turned out wonderful. Oh and I omitted the glaze completely.

I think my review can only be taken so far since I not only followed other suggestions by using chocolate cake mix, but I somehow forgot to buy banana pudding at the store and ended up using chocolate pudding as well. But with all those changes the recipe came out great and I had lots of compliments. Super moist! I used store bought cream cheese frosting because to me that's just easier and tastes as good. Next time I will try this with banana pudding for sure.

Very good and simple cake recipe. I used two bananas and a little more vanilla and baked it about 10 min less...I have a convection oven, so this may be why it took less time. It turned out perfect!

This is an excellent recipe! Ive made this cake many times and it always disappears fast. I like to frost it with a light cream cheese icing and garnish with chopped Pecans or Walnuts. Delicious!!
