Easy, delicious. Have served with cream cheese icing and also I have tried with chocolate cake mix. I save my too-brown bananas in the freezer for this purpose.

This was superb. I made some changes as recommended by others. I used 3 bananas instead of 2 and added 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 tsp cinnamon. Also, I wanted a layer cake, so I baked two 9" layers at 350 (I preheated) for about 28 minutes. I had made up a batch of Cool Whip/banana pudding mix for the frosting, but when I tasted the crumbs after leveling the layers, I didn't think the Cool Whip would be the best accompaniment. So, I made up a batch of cream cheese frosting (8oz cream cheese, 1/2 cup butter, 3 cups powdered sugar) and used that. My husband, who was all ready for the Cool Whip version, agreed after he ate it that the cream cheese version was absolutely perfect and the cake simply couldn't be any better. I made it the night before and it was perfectly moist - but not at all mushy or wet - when served the next evening. Thanks so much. I will use this again!

This recipe rocks! I use it all the time and everyone always loves it! I made this last on Sunday and made some changes... I used only 1 banana and 2 cups of zucchini and a handful of chocolate chips. I also forgot the eggs! But it didn't matter at all, it was awesome, easy and even a little less guilty! I also cook the cake in a preheated oven.

This was so quick and easy. It was a big hit. I made a Mickey Mouse cake for my son's first birthday. Everyone thought it was homemade. I got many requests for the recipe.

This cake is FANTASTIC! I used 3-4 bananas. Preheated oven and cooked 40 minutes. This time I decided to make homemade chocolate frosting! I have made this cake at least once a month since I found the recipe. One of the best cakes ever. As good as homemade. Everytime it gets better

I love this recipe. I have made it 5 times in the last 3 weeks, giving much of it to my family and friends to sample. It is soooo easy and absolutely delicious. I vary the amount of bananas according to the size of banana. I've used 2 or 3. I make a standard butter cream icing & it just adds to the flavor. Refrigerating it is a must to get the best texture & flavor. This is a KEEPER!!!!!

This cake is so easy and quick. I was really looking for a recipe that was light and fluffy. Most of the banana cake recipes I had looked at seemed too heavy for what I wanted. I used the Banana Cake VI recipe though for icing: 1 stick of butter, 1 block of cream cheese, and 3 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, but I also added a bit of banana flavoring. It was amazing. Everyone that tried it loved it. I even had people who don't like bananas say they loved the cake. Definitely going to keep this recipe on hand!

This tastes a lot like banana bread. We topped with redi whip,fresh sliced bananas, and chopped walnuts right before serving. Yum!

Can't wait to try this recipe the way it's written, but the bananas had to go and the only cake mix I had was a Betty Crocker Cinnamon Swirl. I decided it was worth a try. Didn't want the prominent flavor to be cinnamon, so I only used half of the enclosed packet of cinnamon. Only other thing I changed was preheating my oven. Baked at 350 for 40 min. Incredible!! Really needs no frosting. I just love a recipe that's quick, easy and yummy! Thanks, Carolyn!

this recipe was great! I made a slight substitution of using spice cake mix rather than yellow and three bananas. yeilded 3 8in square cakes. It was moist and delicious as promised. I to did not do the whole "put in oven then turn on" as the recipe called for, and it just baked like your normal cake. just dusted some powdered sugar and voila!! if you are one that likes spice breads or cakes, try this variation and you won't be disappointed.

this was really great. everyone loved it. it is like a "cakey" banana bread. I did as others did and used 3 bananas, added cinnamon, and cooked normally, preheating the oven, and baking for about 40 mins. Was great. I also made the cool whip/pudding "icing." People couldn't sto pdipping their fingers in the bowl when I made it. But me perosnally, I think the cake would be better without it. If you have to have frosting on it, I would go the cream cheese route.

5IVE Star YUM!! Rich banana flavor. Mashed 3 small bananas up with (Mistake!) baking powder instead of baking soda: cake still rose-just not as well- & flavor remained rich. Whipped up two 6 oz pkgs banana pudding with 1 cup milk & entire giant tub of Cool Whip to frost the cake. Garnished with banana & strawberry slices & a squirt of Reddi Whip. This light yet satisfying dessert got gobbled up quickly. I'll make it again this week, its now a major favorite. Thanks for a super recipe.
