  So easy and tasty, I had no buttermilk so used milk. Also no pecans so added smashed up 70% choc and raisons instead. I usually take 1/2 cake to work for people to try but I had none to take with this one.

  I made this with my 3 year old boy yesterday, he had lots of fun mashing the bananas, and passing me the ingredients. I love cooking, but I am just getting to grips with baking, and as I had some ripe bananas I searched for a suitable recipe and this one caught my eye. I was rather dubious about the results as we waited for the oven to do its thing.. I needn't have worried... OMG it was moist and delicious, I would have been happy to have been served this in a cafe and paid money for it as it was that good, I kid you not! It's certainly given me taste for trying to bake more cakes, not so good for the waistline though :P

  I adore this loaf.....very versatile. I never ice the top ...more dishes. I think the receipe has the perfect ingredients although I sometimes add a few extra sultanas and cut back on sugar. I love it for breakfast too.....

  My family loved this recipe. It didn't last long. It's great for breakfast, as a snack after school or before games. I missed out the raisins but added a little cinnamon to make it a real winter treat.

  Just made this loaf, and its delish! After reading the reviews I used choc chips instead of raisins and didn't have any buttermilk so just left it out and it tastes fine and is lovely and moist without being too wet. I am not going to bother to ice it either.

  The loaf was very moist. Made with 70g sugar. If I make this again, I'll use a bit more sugar. Still tasted great and easy to make!

  This loaf is definitely worth the 5 stars. I made this cake with pecans and milk chocolate chips and it was a wonderful. I also used semi skimmed milk instead of buttermilk and the cake was lovely and moist, not too moist and very moreish. I served it to friends and family after supper and they all loved it. Will make again and may add more chocolate next time!

  Lovely cake. Omited the buttermilk and was still moist. Also used crystallised ginger and chocolate chips instead of sultanas and pecans. Will have to make again!!

  I added walnuts and sultanas instead of raisins and plain yogurt instead of buttermilk. It turned out amazing (even though it fell out of the oven half way through cooking!!..I'm so clumsy! and a disaster in the kitchen). Its really given me a boost to try other things! I have another in the oven cooking now as I want to show off to family and friends!!!!

  Swapped pecans for 100g dark chocolate, and made my own buttermilk (milk with lemon juice). REALLY nice, and not as sweet as the banana cake I normally make. I haven't iced it yet, but I don't think it would really need it. Very handy that it can be frozen :)

  Oh and it took me 4 bananas to make up to 1lb (skinless). It also looks like there is too much mixture for the tin, but as long as it is fairly deep its actually perfect.

  I used bread flour. Half white and half wholemeal. I put walnuts and sultanas in it. I omitted the milk. I doubled the quantity as I had a lot of bananas and it made 3 loaves!! One to eat and two to freeze! It was delicious.
