  Very good. I forgot the milk - batter still seemed OK. Cake splits - protect top next time. Took 1hr 30 min in my oven

  Love banana, love walnuts. Excellent. For those claiming its dry... You over-cooked it. If it collapsed then you under-cooked it :) sprinkle a cinammon and sugar mix on top before baking it. Trust me!

  Tried this recipe for the first time. Got a lovely cake at the end. Seemed to work better with over ripe bananas that have turned brown. Also beat the sugar &butter first & then add the beaten fluffy egg. Then the rest of the ingredients. A very simple recipe with common ingredients. Wishing you success:-)

  Mine looked great when I took it out of the oven and I left it overnight to cool as it was boiling hot, but then in the morning I found it a soggy, flat mess...

  Rather tasty, but quite crumbly and not quite as moist as I would have liked. I may try using honey next time as recommended in the comments. It went down well at home though!

  Both me and my son have made this many times and it always turns out perfect. My son leaves out the walnuts as he doesn't like them and it doesn't affect the bake.

  I first experienced this when I lived in Virginia for a short time before returning to the UK. A neighbour brought it around for me to try along with the blueberry version which is also good.. I started to make them myself and you can use any seasonal soft fruits too and get the same consistency of loaf..

  I can't bake at all, but this is the one thing I can make! I've even put the ingredients in in the wrong order and it has come out okay. I love this, have made it lots of times and it is always popular. I leave out the walnuts though as I don't like them.

  Great, for my recipe I used brown strong flour, brown sugar and little less than recommended, got to keep the weight off ! I heated the sugar and butter gently in a pan then mixed them along with the other ingredients, finally used some tin foil in the fan oven to keep the top of the cake from burning, my cooking/baking experience Zero, but eating it was 10/10, perfect with a cuppa ........or 3 :-)

  This is a great hit with my kids. If you don't have any walnuts in the cupboard don't worry, you can replace with: dessicated coconut (really good - but cut the banana to 3 good sized bananas or 4 small); chestnuts qork really well too. I added ones already cooked from the supermarket. They were really good. It's difficult to get this one wrong.

  Everyone in our household loves this - especially fresh from the over while still warm. Only problem is that it's usually been eaten within the day!

  I made with 3 large ripe bananas and pecans instead of walnuts. Went down a storm with the family. I thought it would be a disaster too as my 4 year old niece did most of the mixing. Oh yes...and used self raising flour instead of plain / baking powder.

  Oh also I don't add milk and I also split the mix into 2 tins. Its too thick to cook it all in one tin but that could be my oven.

  Lovely and delicious, a good way to get rid of old black bananas too. Will definately do this again but will use a little less sugar as it is very sweet. Also used Flora buttery as I didn't have any real butter so better for the waistline too.

  Just made this to use up some bananas and it was just great. Didn't add the milk and took it out oven 10 minutes BEFORE end of hour. It is lovely and moist with a lovely banana flavour and chunks of walnut. Don't think it's going to last very long !!!
