  This recipe is absolutely gorgeous. I substituted the buttermilk with skimmed milk and the butter with soft margarine, it made no difference to the taste, it's still extremely more-ish.

  I modified the recipe and used a mixture of golden caster sugar and dark muscavado sugar (100 grams to 40 ratio). I also substituted muesli for the raisins and pecans. I will definitely make it again, but next time I will add more sugar, it wasn't quite sweet enough. Also it was perhaps a little too moist. Worth making again though.

  I too had no buttermilk to hand, so after reading Dara's comment decided to do the same and just omit the buttermilk. I also have a nut allergy sufferer in the family, so substituted the pecans for chopped prunes. Came out a delicious and moist cake that keeps very well in a cake tin. I made it 3 days ago and am just tucking in to a nice slice for my breakfast this morning! I can see this recipe becoming a firm favourite and would highly recommned.

  I haven't tried any other recipes for banana bread/loaf so maybe there are better ones. However this recipe was fantastic in my opinion, it was moist and succulent. A really tasty recipe that I can't wait to try out again.

  Was looking for a cake recipe to use up some fruit left over in the fruit bowl, and thought I'd give this a try. What a winner! Added 3 mashed bananas, 1 chopped pear, 1 chopped apple, 6 chopped dried apricots and a handful of dried up sultanas, no buttermilk so used whole milk instead, also only had dark muscovado sugar lurking back of cupboard so used that. What I got was a delicous moist cake that everyone loves. So simple and great result. Will definitely be using this one again.

  Made this loaf to use up some over ripe bananas. Like some of the other reviewers I swopped the pecans for hazelnuts, as that is what I had in the cupboard. I didn't use the buttermilk. Only a splash of ordinary milk to make the mixture more of a dropping consistency. The loaf needed less time than stated - 1hr 7/10mins or so. All in all it is an ok loaf. Not sure I would rush to do it again. I have a banana and walnut recipe which is lighter and takes less time. Worth trying though.
