Instead of making a cake, I made this recipe into cupcakes. It made 18 cupcakes & I only baked for 20 min. instead of the suggested 30 min. I frosted them w/ chocolate frosting; they turned out great! Will definatly make again.

This is a really tasty recipe. That said, I had to post a review because I think people ought to be aware that this is not really a cake in the traditional sense. I made it for Mother's Day, frosted it with vanilla cream cheese frosting and was envisioning a fluffy, moist cake. Unfortunately, it's like banana bread with frosting - really dense, with a slight chew. Although it was quite delicious, we just couldn't get past the texture. I think if you go into it with the understanding that it's more like a bread (and maybe skip the frosting?) you'll be more satisfied with the results. I think we figured out the SURPRISE! part of the title....

I had overripe bananas I needed to use, and thought this cake might be a great way to. I frosted it with the brown sugar cream cheese frosting on this site (see my review), and it was very fine. This cake is very, very moist, just the way I like cakes. I will bake it on a regular basis.

This is one of the best cakes I have ever made. I have baked this four times in the last two weeks. The taste is great. I know I will bake this more and more. Thanks so much.

Excellent! A great way to use up those bananas sitting on your counter! I made cream cheese frosting for the top. I will make this again!

This was a quick and delicious cake! I used 5 bananas and added a coconut and oatmeal streusel/crumb layer in the middle and on top in place of icing. I'll definitely make it again!

Easy and very tasty. I substituted applesauce for the butter to cut the fat.

This is my first time baking so I chose this simple recipe. I added 6 bananas and 1 tbsp of vanilla extract to give the strong taste. Instead of using unsalted butter and add salt later, I used margerin instead and no salt added. Because I'm not that excited about nuts so I eliminated that altogether. The result came out perfect moist and fluffy. A perfect recipe for beginners. Thanks!!

We enjoy this cake so much that we look forward to our bananas going brown! I lost my recipe and was so thankful I could print it out again so easily by coming to allrecipes.com! Thanks for the great recipes! Cara Kroeker
