I think my bundt pan was too big, but even so, this was sooo yummy, and the house smells soo good, even hours after I baked it. Good way to use up ripe bananas!

im thrilled that this recipe only called for 8 tablespoons of sugar compared to the 2-3 cups i was seeing in other banana bread recipes. i also didn't have to have 3+ overripe bananas laying around. the flavor came out perfect, and the cake is moist. i dont have a bundt pan so i baked it in a 8x8 pan (which i forgot to grease), it only took 20 min. to bake at 350, and it didn't stick to the pan. thanks!

Very good recipe! The cake is light and moist and yummy! I added about 1/2 cup more bananas to mine and used pecans because that's all I had on hand. I think the next time I will double the recipe so the cake will be higher. Will definitely be a repeat recipe in my house!

I made this in a loaf pan and it tasted great. I didn't use walnuts so I just mixed the remained sugar and cinnamon in at the end. I also incrased the vanilla and cinnamon.

I must've used too large of a fluted pan(my mom actually laughed at how flat it was)..but even at that, this coffe cake just didn't work. It ended up dry, and not very flavorful. Definitely NOT the best way to use up over ripe bananas in my opinion!

This was fantastic. I made a simple icing sugar/milk/corn syrup icing for it, YUM!

Yummo! I made a few changes because I was missing a few ingredients. First I used strawberry yogurt instead of sour cream since that's what I had and I added 1 tsp of lemon juice to make up the acidity that was lost by not using sour cream. I also put the cinnamon into the batter and instead of filling the ring with the nut mix (I had no nuts) I used chocolate chips. The only problem I had was that my tube pan was too big so it didn't rise up inside the ring much and it cooked quicker than in the recipe. I also used too few chocolate chips :) Other than my failings the cake was great, I flipped it out and sprinkled with icing sugar and it lasted less than 4 days between my boyfriend and myself.

This really is an excellent recipe. Not only is it low in sugar compared to other banana cakes but it is low in fat too. The cake is super moist and I used 1 cup of banana which gave it a really great banana taste.

This cake was super moist and very tasty. I did not have any white sugar on hand so I used raw sugar with one tbsp brown sugar thrown in. I had to supplement what white flour I did have with some whole wheat flour... which I will also do again. I used toasted pecans instead of walnuts and sprinkled them througout the batter. All in all, I think the recipe as given will also be wonderful without the changes I had to make. I doubled the recipe because this makes a small cake; it could also be made in a regular pan. You will really enjoy the smooth, moist cake this recipe produces!

I accidentally posted this to the wrong recipes (darn newbie here!) so please forgive the duplication. This is the one I really meant to review. What a wonoderful recipe! The cake comes out nice and moist with a rich banana flavor. I doubled the recipe (I had three bannanas to use up!) and it worked well. I also ommitted the nuts and just sprinled the cinnamon in the batter. Lastly, I chose margarine instead of butter this time and it certainyl did not seem the worse for wear. I do think that it could use a nice light frosting so if anyone knows of a good one please post away! I tried another from this site and it lacked the delicacy that I think would suit this particular cake.
