  What a lovely cake. Even my fussy non-banana & non-nut eating husband & son loved it. I served it fresh from the oven as a pudding and it went down a storm. So much so, 2nd's & 3rd's soon followed. Although this is an easy recipe, it is a little fussy to make, using several different bowls in the process. The top did burn, even though I checked it as suggested. Will check it much sooner next time. The next day the cake still tasted moist and lovely. It gives you an idea of the size of the cake, big and generous enough for people to take extra helpings and still half the cake remains !

  I love banana cake, but now this is my favourite recipe, have made it twice already. After reading the comment on the 28th April I didn't feel guilty about cutting into it straight away and yes it was lovely. First time I made it with walnuts and was just as good as pecans so don't go out especially to buy them. The recipe did sound a little confusing at the start with so made bits to prepare. The food processor came in handy to prepare the nuts and the banana.

  Really yummy cake, kept well and even improved with keeping. An excellent way to use up those frozen over-ripe bananas that had been languishing in the freezer. But, I did need to to use a 9" tin, there was no way it was going to fit in the 8" tin suggested in the recipe.

  This was a triumph and everyone raved about it, funnily enough I wasn't over enthused by it. From all the comments I expected more. I'll make it again and see if I think differently

  Made this early this morning and no sooner had it come out the oven it was already being tucked into by hubby! I didn't add the nuts as other half just wanted a plain banana cake but it came out well. Will be making this again, prob for myself adding walnuts!!!!

  I'm not a big fan of bananas but loved this cake. I was in a similar position to Serrento (18.5) and used walnuts, worked well. Will definitely make it again.

  OMG! This is sooo yummy and easy. I worried a bit that I had done the egg whites right as they didn't seem to fold in very well but it is such a moist and yummy cake and the crumble topping is delish. I only did a plain banana cake as I didn;t have any pecans but was still scrummy. Will try and get some pecans to have in it next time as I bet that would make it even scrummier!

  Marvellous recipe. Took a little longer to bake than the recipe mentions as my skewer didn't come out clean after 1 hour. Closer to 1hr 20mins but definately worth the extra gas! A really moist and tasty cake that all my neighbours and friends loved after my first attempt. A second was baked within days and has gone down just as well.

  I have made this twice now. It is so easy to make. It took about 1hr 20 mins to cook rather than the hour but was well worth the wait. My friends all thought it was delicious.

  Lovely cake, large and moist. A little fiddly to make but definately worthwhile. As other comments the cake did take over the stated hour, about 15 minutes extra. I only just took it out the oven and half has already been eaten, will make this one again!
