I may have used more of the mashed bananas than the recipe called for, but other than that I followed the recipe. This came out just like banana bread for me, but its definitely good! Just not very cake-like.

This was absolutely wonderful!!! The texture was in between a cake and banana bread and I loved it. I left out the nuts and added 1 tsp cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg. I also topped it with the banana butter icing recipe on this site. Came out fantastic!!!

This is more like a banana bread but I still found it quite good and not too sweet with good banana flavor. I didn't put a frosting on it and it was quite good on its own but I do think it would taste great with a buttercream or cream cheese frosting.

I don't like to give bad reviews, but this one was not for me. Had a ton of black bananas in my fridge for baking, decided to try something different from banana bread. Found this recipe and tried it. I followed the recipe exactly, the cake was dry and lacked flavor. I checked the cake at 25 min (instead of 30) and it was overdone. Will not make again.

I agree with other reviewers - it's similar to banana bread; topped with a maple-flavored buttercream frosting, it was more cake-like. Let the flavors develop overnight and use exceptionally over-ripe fruit, just as you would for banana bread.

I followed this recipe exactly. Same measurements, same cooking time, and same oven temperature. Perfect! It's definitely a banana bread texture except not as dense. Instead of mixing the nuts in the batter, I just topped the cream cheese layer with nuts--easier for non-nut lovers to scrape off. I highly recommend a dash of cinnamon which seems to naturally complement bananas.

Fantastic. I had run out of vanilla essence and it still tasted great. Also I used walnut pieces instead of chopped - i like to taste the nut! Sprinkled with icing sugar. Delicious and moist.

This cake was very good. Unfortunately only my husband and I enjoyed it - my kids thought it was just okay. I followed the advice from one of the other reviewers and added the 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1/2 ts. nutmeg. The cake smelled heavenly coming from the oven! I frosted the cake with a very thin layer of cream cheese frosting which added a nice touch to this delicious cake!

This cake was delicious....although I agree with some reviewers comments about it having the texture of banana bread rather then cake. I added about a teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg. I made a simple cinnamon buttercream frosting to ice the cake with....That really made it special. My husband and 4 children ate the entire cake within minutes. Thanks for a great recipe!

What's the surprise? The flavor was good, recipe was easy but the cake itself was dry. I followed the exact directions, only using cake flour, as others had advised. Maybe, because I used a 9x5x2 pan...wanted a little thicker than what the picture showed. Might try again, but still looking for a better one.

Made this yesterday, turned out delicious, somewhat between a regular, fluffy cake and a traditional banana bread texture. Very moist, not heavy at all. Frosted it with a plain vanilla frosting with a touch of cream cheese. Used 4 medium sized, freckled bananas. This cake is excellent; I will make it again; it's disappearing fast in my house.

My family loves this cake! I haven't tried it with icing on it, I usually sprinkle powdered sugar on it before I serve it. I've brought this to many potlucks and usually have to give people the recipe.

I wish I had followed American Beauty's lead and used a 9"square pan: in a 9x13" pan, this cake didn't get very high (see photo). It was moist, but not heavy or dense like banana bread. Of course, it tasted like banana bread; it had four mashed bananas in it! It was plenty sweet for us. The addition of some cream cheese frosting made it super-sweet. I would make this again, but definitely in a smaller pan.

Turned out really well. First time making a banana cake so I had nothing to compare to. I followed the recipe without the nuts and used 1 cup cake flour and 1 cup all purpose flour. Next time I will use all cake flour because it was still a little heavy like a light banana bread. Frosted with cream cheese frosting. Thanks!
