Delicious, easy cake. I used 1 cup white sugar and 3/4 cup brown sugar to cut down the sweetness. My cake was done in 50 min, so keep an eye on yours. It gets very dark on top, but the crisp on the outside compliments the moist inside. Topped with powdered sugar, a hit with the entire family :)

Very good cake but I'm not a big lover of banana in cakes but tried it anway. A little too sweet for my taste. Wish more of the pineapple flavor would come through. Don't know if I would make it again. My husband seems to like it. It kind of reminds me of a coffeecake recipe from years ago.

This is an awesome cake with a great moist texture. A little too greasy for my taste so next time I will use apple sauce instead of oil.

Wow, this cake is really good. I substututed a 1/2 cup of brown sugar of 1/2 cup of the white sugar, used walnuts instead of pecans because that was what I had on hand. Very moist, fairly chunky, no need for frosting. I will definitely use this recipe again.

Awwww yeah. This is one awesome cake, my friends. I subbed 1 c. sugar plus 3/4. c brown sugar for the 2 c. white, cut the oil in half and used 3 bananas because bananas are made of win. I also shortened the baking time to 45 min @ 300, but that's only because my oven is electric and therefore sucks. But in the end, this is dynamite! Thanks for sharing!

I used this recipe as a guide and switched it up. I used chunked pinapple instead of crushed, and used applesauce instead of oil. I soaked raisins in hot water and when they were nice and soft threw them in too.Sprinkled it with cinnamon before i put it in the oven. The whole family loved it! gotta try it

OMG!!!! Everybody at my game night loved this! I used 1/2 brown and 1/2 white sugar and only 1 c oil like the other suggestions. I poured the batter in the pan and layered the cut bananas in, then layered more batter on top. I also tented the cake after 30 min with foil. I did not make icing. Next time I will top it with whipped cream. This would be great with a cup of coffee! Yummy!!!
