Too much work to make this a layer cake, so just put into the 9x13 pan. I put cream cheese frosting on top. Very moist & really good!!

i found this cake to be delicious and very moist. even 4 days (in a sealed container) after i made it, it was still delicious! only suggestion is i would measure out the quanity of banana needeed so you know for future reference. this way you don't get inconsistent results!

A scrumptious cake - dense and tasty! I used the cream cheese icing from Banana Cake VI (used 1.5X recipe to frost whole cake). As I have not sifted flour before, I made sure to sift BEFORE measuring. As per reviews, I considered using 1 c. white sugar but kept the 2 c. brown. Had to leave out the nuts for one of the guests. Not dry at all.

I also used half white sugar, half brown. I made it with chocolate icing and it was wonderful. the colour contrast of the icing with the cake looks really nice too.

Great cake! My husband and kids loved it! I only used 1/2 of the confectioner's sugar in the icing and it was still very sweet. If making the full recipe for the cake I would double the icing recipe (but halving the confectioner's sugar).

This was REALLY raved over by the group(adults and kids) for which I made it. I have to say that I highly recommend the use of cream cheese frosting (1 1/2 blocks cream cheese, 10 tb. unsalted butter--both softened, and 24 oz. powdered sugar, splash of vanilla) AND plenty of chopped walnuts on the entire OUTSIDE of the 3-layer cake INSTEAD of in the batter! It looks and tastes amazing that way...judging by all the sneaky "nut snatchers" in the group =) I followed the recipe...except I used 1/2 white and 1/2 brown sugar for a lighter color and texture, and I doubled the salt. All my ingredients were at room temperature, and I creamed the sugars and butter until very light and fluffy (4-5 min?). The batter was light and the cake was not too heavy either. All said, we highly recommend this cake =)

We just ate some of this still warm from the oven and my husband loved it. I used 1 cup dark brown sugar, 1 cup white and forgot to add the vanilla but it still turned out great. I didn't add nuts, either, since my son doesn't like them. I used someone's suggestion and baked it in a tube pan. I combined the icing recipe with the Banana Butter icing from this site to use my last banana and drizzled it over the top as a glaze. It was wonderful, definitely a great way to use the bananas we always seem to let get too ripe to eat! Thanks for the recipe!

I made this cake 3 times already and I have had TONS of compliments on it from all my friends. The first cake flopped though, but that was because I put the oven on grill (I am new to baking and I can't read my oven)... hahaha... But my friends still enjoyed it so much.. Anyways, I think it was great with or without the frosting... Say thanks to your GRANDMA for me!! I had too much batter when I used a smaller pan and I made cupcakes!! It was still really good!! This is an awesome recipe!! Who would've have thought of sour cream huh?

The cake was good and easy to make, but it seemed to be lacking something. I used unsalted butter, so if I make it again, I would probably either use salted butter or add more salt. I also made a half recipe in a bundt pan (I only had two bananas), and I didn't frost it or glaze it. I think I would also put a confectioner's sugar glaze on it, or else dust the whole thing with powdered sugar. I had melted the butter by mistake when I was trying to defrost it, so I put it in the freezer for a few minutes while I got the rest of the ingredients together, and blended the ingredients while the butter was still very liquid. I don't think that it affected the consistency of the cake, which was fine.

This was ok. I used half white/half brown sugar like some other reviewers said, and I think that helped. But the cake was still pretty heavy. It had a good taste, but I think I'll stick with my tried and true banana bread recipe that I've had forever. Thanks anyway.

I really liked the cake part pof this recipe. I agree it makes a big, moist cake. If your cake was dry, you probably overcooked it. I didn't have brown sugar so I used white sugar. I also used 3-1/2 c. all purpose flour and 3 bananas because that was all I had on hand. I wasn't fond of the frosting. Another reviewer said the recipe didn't make much frosting, but I ended up with a huge bowl full of it. I took it to work and while most people liked the cake, many commented the frosting was just too sweet. Next time I will use a cream cheese frosting.
