I am a pretty novice baker, but gave this recipe my best shot, and my goodness, did it ever work out well. Very moist, but not the same consistency as banana bread, which I was very pleased about. Made the same substitutions as another reviewer, subbing in sour cream and milk for the sour milk. Amazing! Don't be thrown off when you mix the dry with most of the wet ingredients - it will be very thick like a dough - and make sure not to over mix - once you add the mashed bananas and remaining liquids, it turns into a nice cake batter. Brought the cake to an evening class and people were taking seconds they liked it so much! Thanks for a great recipe!

This recipe turned out great! I added 2/3 cup mini chocolate chips and baked donuts in my donuts pan; iced with a thin chocolate glaze...they turned out perfect! My kids, and all of their friends, ate them as fast as I could make them! Thank you for the great recipe...I know that I will be making these again! I think that I will try applesauce in place of the banana and add cinnamon; dust with cinnamon and confectioners sugar too. Yum!

I found this recipe looking for a quick and easy cake to use my over-ripe bananas. It is not only quick to prepare, but is delicious with or without frosting! Highly recommend!

Very delicious. I used half white whole wheat flour & half regular flour. I poked holes with a fork and then poured a powdered sugar and water icing over the cake...it made it very moist.

This was amazing! Light & fluffy and not overwhelmingly banana. Added some cinnamon & used plain yogurt instead of the sour milk. Didn't bother with the frosting. It's great on it's own!

Absolutely PERFECT! I've tried another recipe that called for almost a cup more sugar and it was waaaaay to sweet. Started looking for another recipe that called for less sugar and found this one. I made it as per directed and also took your advice on making the frosting with a banana. IT WAS PERFECT! The best banana cake hands down. Thank you so much, this recipe is a keeper!

I was looking for something other than banana bread to make with the over ripe bananas. I only had 2 medium and they made one cup exactly. This cake is very good. It's light and moist. Good without the frosting. I will make this one again.
