SIMPLY AWESOME! I used white cake mix and light rum because it is what I had on hand. I also smashed the pecans up into almost a powder b/c nobody here likes little pieces of nuts in their cakes. The only problem I had was with the frosting-I would suggest using 2 1/2 cups of powdered sugar to start and adding more as needed; I followed the recipe exactly and mine was so stiff that it was almost unspreadable. Otherwise, just AWESOME!!!!!

The best banana cake ever. I used a bundt pan and it took almost 50 mins to finish baking..but well worth it!

This recipe was awesome. I used Appleton Jamaican Rum and it turned out very very nice. I should be embarrased to admit but the cake was gone in less than 24 hours, and it was only 4 people eating it. I put mine in a bunt instead of a layer cake, and I made a rum glaze instead of frosting and it was so tasty. I'm making it again for Christmas dessert.

The cake was really good, but even with 2/3 cup of rum, it was still really strong. It overpowered the taste of the cake and bananas, and the frosting tasted like sugared rum. Overall, I liked it, but I would definitely not recommend it for kids!

I followed the directions to a tee, and even came up slightly short on the 1 cup mashed bananas, and it turned out very nice and moist. However, the rum taste is different than that of a island rum cake. If I make it again, I will make sure not to skimp on the cheap dark rum and splurge for the good stuff! I think the cheap stuff made it taste funny.

Very good! I messed up the frosting (too much butter) so I used that frosting (thick) just for the top and to hold the two cakes together, then used purchased butter cream frosting for the entire cake. VERY good!

Tasted like banana nut bread with a little zing. I acually could have used more rum, and a little less banana.

Love this cake. I did make three changes...1 cup of rum and 1/3 cup of water, instead of 2/3 of each. Also I used the Glaze from Easy Rum Cake instad of the frosting in this recipe. I will make again and again. P.S. This cake is for those of us who like the taste of rum!

This IS moist & flavorful! I am out of dark rum so I used bacardi gold & I only added 1/2 cup to the cake (making up the difference w/ water) but added about 3 tbp to the frosting instead of 2. The Gold doesn't have as strong a rum flavor so for those of you who are unsure of the rum taste, I would go w/ that. The frosting was pretty dry...I added milk a tbp. at a time until I got it to the right consistency. My only other complaint is that there wasn't quite enough frosting to get a thick, beautiful coat on the cake but that sure didn't affect the taste. With the conversions this site offers, it won't be any problem, next time, to print out another copy using 30 servings....this will up the frosting amount by 1/4. Thanks for a wonderful cake!

This is a great recipe! It puts a spin on your typical rum cake. I prepared mine and then cooked it in a bunt cake pan.

This is now my alltime favorite cake. I did have to change the icing some - mine was too dry. I poured a little milk in to thin it up. I also added a tiny bit of rum extract to the icing. I made this for a get together on Sunday - the cake was gone by Monday. I only had two tiny slices!

this was a very good cake, however i used rum extract instead of rum, and i found the taste to be a bit strong, i dont know if it would have been that way had i used dark rum, but i ended up adding about a cum of whipped topping to the frosting recipe and i garnished it with bannana and sprinkled some cinnamon, it helped cute the rum taste in half.

This recipe was wonderfully delicious. My very siblings, who have very discerning tastebuds, absolutely LOVED it. I'll be baking the cake again to take in to my co workers.

Easy to make, but rum flavor extuingishes all other flavors. Too strong for my taste and not moist enough.

It was great! I love sweets and so did everyone that tasted this cake at my bbq. It was moist and delicious!

Easy and good! I took this to work where it disappeared VERY quickly!

Excellent

I did not find this recipe dry at all! My cake turned out very moist. I did not find the rum overwhelming either. But then I like rum. I was surprised at how well the Banan tasted! I did find the frosting dry and added more butter to mine. But, then, my frostings never turn out :o)
