  Lovely Banana bread but as many others have commented the recipe is well out with regards to cooking time as it needs at least 45 mins.

  I've had far nicer banana loaves than this one, it took a lot longer to cook than stated and lacked in flavour - the recipe could do with some spices maybe? Despite being careful with my measurements and beating the eggs well, the cake was overall quite heavy and flat.

  Very simple cake to make and very tasty. Ideal cake to make with children and they now get very excited when we have a couple of old bananas.

  I made this recipe but without the icing sugar. I personally thought there was too much butter in it and it could do with a little more sugar instead. It took 40 minutes to cook rather than 30 but was delicious all the same. Gone in less than a day!

  I have made this twice now and on both occasions it has been very delicate to cut which causes problems :(. I can't seem to slice it nicely as its too soft and crumbly if that makes sense. I also add cinnamon and leave it in oven on gas 5 for approx 50 mins.

  This is the best banana cake recipe I've ever tried and I've tried quite a few (which all failed miserably!) This one is nice is light, more like a sponge cake rather than a traditional heavier loaf style banana bread. I added a tsp of vanilla essence and milk chocolate chips and the previous time I made added washed and chopped glace cherries.

  Excellent! Totally loved it. I don't even like bananas, but this was lovely. The sponge was nice and moist, meaning the cake could be left to eat without extras such as cream etc. I didn't include the banana crisps as I didn't want to over-do the banana considering I didn't like it, but the drizzle gave it a nice crunch on the top. I did have to leave it in the oven about 15 minutes longer than reccommended however, but other than that FAB!

  This is a very easy recipe that turns out great each time I use it. I've added raisins, Scottish oats and a dash of cinnamon and they all seem to work. I sling everything in the food processor using a dough blade and it honestly doesn't taste any different than if I do it in a bowl.

  Lovely recipe, very simple. I just put everything in a bowl and used an electric hand whisk to blend all the ingredients together, then stirred in the mashed banana. As others have commented, I increased the baking time to 55 minutes. Will add chocolate chips next time!

  I made this yesterday to use up some over ripe bananas. As many have suggested I too had to leave the cake in for longer than the suggested 30 minutes, I added a further 8 minutes which was just right for my oven. It turned out to be a very tasty and very moist cake. I would certainly make it again as it is a quick and easy way of using up those old bananas with store cupboard staples.
