  Love this cake! I make it all the time and extra for friends and family. I don't bother with the topping - it really doesn't need it as it's delicious as it is! Does take longer to cook than the recipe states but worth waiting for!!!!

  Great recipe - very easy and tasty. As previous comments - inceased baking time to 55 mins and it was absolutely scrummy!! Didn't bother with the icing - great without it. Was even better the day after baking.

  Great taste and easy to make. The Kids love helping to mix it all. We add white chocolate for the topping which makes it really special!

  Definitely more cake than loaf however it was very delish. Left it in another 10 mins and left off the topping after reading reviews. I also added raisins choc chipsand cinnamon...which went down a treat with the kids as they helped to make it. Very easy and very tasty which means it's one I'll do again!

  Fabulous moist cake,i don't usually make any changes to recipes but i only had smallish eggs so i added 2 tablespoons of olive oil and out of habit a good tablespoon of vanilla extract.This cake did take about 10 minutes extra to bake but boy it`s good, yummy and delish .I was getting a bit bored of my old banana loaf recipe and was sure there must be a recipe worth having black skinned banana's for and now i've found it :)

  Definately takes longer to cook, but a really nice cake. Any methods for increasing the rise though? With every banana bread recipe i've tried they always come out a little deflated. Great taste though!

  Added cocoa powder instead of 50g of flour to make a choc and banana loaf. Simples!

  This is the best recipe for banana loaf and I have tried many, the only down side is it needs longer cooking time that recommended.

  This is such a lovely, simple recipe that is wonderful to bake. The second time I baked this I added raisins and rolled oats which was very nice. The third time I baked this I added raisins, rolled oats and cinnamon - even better! If you ever have overripe bananas you don't want to waste use this recipe!

  Lovely moist banana bread. I too made it without the drizzle and dried banana. I baked it for 45 minutes and left it to cool in the tin.

  Easy recipe to follow, longer cooking time than specified and that was in a fan assisted oven. Drizzled the icing sugar on top and I was impressed with the results and how easy it was to make. Delicious

  Yup, took way longer than the recipe stated. Wish I had read the reviews before trying it as I only came on to add this info after following a page torn out of the magazine

  Very easy recipe. Extremely moist cake. I cooked mine for an hour and would possibly give it a further 5 minutes next time round.
