  A tasty and more moist alternative to my banana bread cake. A family favourite already!

  An excellent cake - very moist and full of flavour. I found it easier to chop the toffees rather than cut with wet scissors. I couldn't get any toffee yoghurt so used hazelnut yoghurt instead. This worked very well. I was out of light muscavado and so changed the sugar to half dark muscavado and half soft brown sugar.

  I made this to fundraise for a race I was doing - a 10K dressed as a gorilla. It was gooey, gorgeous and everyone loved it.

  Delicious - everytime I make this I get asked for the recipe! Point to note - unwrapping and chopping the toffees (and rescuing them as they ping around the kitchen) takes longer than you would think!!!

  Very very tasty, goes very well with ice cream. The preparation does take ages, toffee's are not the easiest things to chop. I reduced the amount of sugar to 60g, as was using rather ripe bananas and not too keen on cakes that are too sweet, but was still lovely.

  No Werthers toffees in the local shop, so made this with cadbury's chocolate eclairs. Delicious

  Good flavours a bit too moist I thought, but perhaps I should have cooked it longer.I bashed the toffees with a rolling pin but it still took ages to break them up!!

  I find this has the tendency to be too moist and lacking any really structural integrity so I slightly increased the flour. On the occasions that it holds together it is great and deliciously sweet! I wanted it more bananary so added one more mashed banana and slice half and folded it in and was really flavoursome. Lovely!

  I wasn't sure to begin with as i'm not a lover of banana cake (would normally eat as a fruit) but i felt encouraged by all of the comments.. and i can honestly say THIS IS THE BEST BANANA CAKE RECIPE... TOTALLY DELICIOUS. We had friends round when i'd made this and within half an hour out of the oven half the cake had been eaten. Ive made it several times since. Ive chopped toffees & bashed them - both still messy but worth the effort. Ive also used hazelnut yoghurt instead of toffee and both work well. Give it try you'll be surprised.. its very tasty

  This cake is simply amazing! The smell of it cooking always gets my mouth watering! i've discovered that using dark muscovado sugar instead of light gives it a richer flavour, and without a doubt, Asda smart price toffees do the job the best!! Because they're so hard, they make amzing gooey pools of loveliness in the cake! And i always use the whole bag of them as at 27p, why not????!!

  This was yummy and moist! I used Tesco value eclairs as that was all I could get hold of, they are time consuming to chop and they certainly do 'ping' around the kitchen but a brilliant stress reliever after a hard day at work!!
