This recipe is amazing. I made a "test" cake for my daughter's birthday and we ate the whole thing in one night. I used a cream cheese icing with it. For a 12x18 slab cake I used 3 x this recipe. All the guests loved it, and so did my daughter.

I agree with another reviewer that the finished product taste way too much like boxed cake mix with a little bananas mixed in. Good if you're in a pinch and it is very moist. I went easy on the frosting and the overall presentation was pretty - great for a potluck since this stays fresh for a good 2 days - make sure it's covered well. Second time I used White cake mix for less of a 'cake mix flavor' , and used 1 full cup mashed bananas for more flavor and tasted WAY MORE homemade. Great short-cut cake if you're pressed for time.

When my internet was down, I had forgotten the measurements and confused it with the Chocolate Brownie cake. I used 1/2 cup of bananas, 1/2 cups of oil and water, and 8oz of sour cream. Surprizingly enough, everyone loved it as it was super moist. Both ways have gotten rave reviews with family and friends and is often a sure way to use up those left over bananas getting dark on the shelf

I have made this recipe 4 times already - I always have left over ripe bannanas and look for good ways to use them besides the old stand-by banana bread. I do not like the glaze however and use a cream cheese frosting. Be careful not to overcook - I only leave it in for 45 minutes.

This was an outstanding cake, and very easy to make. I served it at card club, and it was a big hit. Everyone asked to take a piece home with them. The cake was gone before the night was over. I will definitely make this one again.

If you want something different than the same old chocolate or white cake, this is the cake to try. It was really good. I also used cream cheese in the icing and it came out great.

This is AMAZING! I thought it would be good, but I was surprised with just how good it was... And how easy to make! I used a 'banana cream' pudding mix, 1½ large bananas, and I baked it in a 9x13 metal pan. It only took between 35 and 40 minutes, so be sure to keep an eye on it or it might end up kind of dry. My cake was wonderfully moist. I followed the glaze recipe but added 4 oz of softened (left on the counter for a couple hours) cream cheese. I needed a little more milk to make it spreadable, but it was awesome. Sprinkled some walnuts on top, and let it set for a couple hours. I DID leave it in the pan, but it's easy to lift out slices if you grease and flour the bottom of the pan. We had company over and she loved it! Thank you so much, Barbara!
