Didn't have any sour cream, so I added 1/4 cup of heavy cream instead. Thus, it's my fault that this came out more like a dense banana bread than a cake. Will try again when I get some sour cream. Made the whole house smell wonderful!

I really liked the cake - it was very moist and flavorful and I like just slicing the bananas in - I spent a day making three different types of cake to freeze and this was the first that we ran out of. When making any banana cake, I always take about a third of the batter and add cocoa then swirl that into the batter in the pan like a marble cake - something I did years ago and now its the only kind of banana cake my family wants. Anyways, it worked great with this recipe. It's a keeper for me. thanks,

I love this recipe! It is easy and everyone eats it up. I like to use 4 bananas and an extra splash of vanilla.

This was a really easy, "no fail" recipe. I barely had any butter left so I used what I had, and replaced the rest with oil and a little bit of milk. I didn't have sour cream, so I replaced that with yogurt. I added a tsp of vanilla and a teaspoon of nutmeg. I think the bananas I used were rather small, as this recipe could use a tiny bit more banana flavour. However, I am sure it is due to the small bananas I had on hand. I mashed the bananas instead as well. I cooked mine in a bundt pan for 60 minutes. This recipe is delicious! Absolutely perfect with a cup of coffee in the morning! Mmmm!

Absolutely delicious! Nice change to add sliced banana instead of mashed - more intense banana flavor - thanks for sharing!!

Definitely five stars! I served at a bar-b-que (with cream cheese frosting) and everyone loved it! I doubled the recipe and also made muffins. I also added walnuts and baked at 325 degrees until done (that way it's a nice golden brown on outside and done in the middle without burning). Thank you for sharing your Gramma's recipe! Does she have any other special recipes to share??

very good....i used half sour cream and half whipping cream, because that's what i had on hand. i also added a teaspoon of vanilla, just cause. i'll definitely make it again, and any excuse to use my new bundt pan will do!

YUMMMMY!!! This is a really good cake. I like it better than my banana bread...my husband is loving it right now. I cooked mine for 45 minutes, as the toothpick came out clean then when I poked it, and I used a real bundt pan. the picture looks like you used something else. hence maybe the longer cooking time?

Excellent banana flavor! I added an extra banana because I had it and didn't want to toss it out, but it was probably a mistake; cake was too heavy and dense. Next time (and I will make this again because of the distinct banana flavor) I'll follow the directions!

Excellent cake. I used a cream cheese frosting. Unlike some reviewer, I didn't find this cake heavy. It is not a lite and fluffy cake but definitely not heavy. Excellent taste.

My husband and I thought this was just awful -- really heavy and even though we had tiny pieces, it sat like a rock in my stomach. I would never make this again!

Not having ever liked bananas, I loved this cake. Like the other reviewers, I found it moist and delicious. I made no changes to the recipe itself, but added a small sprinkling of cinnamon. I didn't find the sugar too much at all. This is a very good recipe, worth keeping.
