  Very nice, easy banana bread! I made it without the drizzle and banana chips, but had it with vanilla ice cream instead - delish!

  Tastes fantastic, especially warm out the oven but takes much longer to cook than recipe states - nearly an hour. Not surprised as use a similar recipe regularly that takes an hour. Worth the wait though! Didn't bother with drizzle and chips and kids still loved it.

  Well, it was easy enough to make and looks exactly like the picture. It is moist and tasty, but I ended up removing the dried bananas as they make it really difficult to cut the cake and aren't really necessary.

  Delicious and a great one to do with my two year old - she loves mashing up the bananas! Takes about an hour to bake though which is quite a bit longer than the recipe says. Love it!

  It was yummy scrummy. I left off the icing for a healthier alternative. Oh and I didn't use the dried banana either simply because I don't like it. :)

  this also took me longer to bake, at gas mark 4 it was a good 50 minutes. it tasted lovely though - i added 1 tsp cinnamon as well as some other reviewers and left out the icing. will definitely be making this again.

  Super easy, great turnout! I did find that the bread needed ten or so minutes longer. But taste wise was a hit with the family, love it :)

  Very tasty although I can only echo what others have said, I cooked for 55 minutes and I think it could have actually done with another 10 minutes. Nice though!

  Big hit with the family, defiantly a cake for those with a very sweet tooth if you include the drizzle like I did. Can't believe how simple it is to make such yummy cakes - ha can you tell im new to home baking. I did this at 160 in my fan oven and im yet another echoing previous comments in that I had to up the cooking time to 55 minutes.

  Brilliant recipe! Lovely and moist in the middle but as most of the people above have suggested, needed an extra 15 mins in the oven. Left the icing and banana chips out but overall, a highly recommended cake!

  Really nice cake that everyone enjoyed. I loved the drizzle addition but left the dried bananas off. Put in the oven for 45 mins and trend out really moist and scummy.
