Enjoyed every bite of this cake. Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. The crumble top makes it extra special, gives it that interesting crunch and the cake itself is beautifully moist. Friends and family all give it the thumbs up. Don't think I'll forget about this recipe.

The best cake ever. I have been making it for a while now. I like to add choc chips to the cake and just have nuts on top. I also add vanilla to the egg mix. Scrummy.

I am just getting back into my baking and fancied giving this recipe a go. It turned out to be so delicious, my other half polished half of it off pretty much as soon as it came out of the oven. Very tasty and very moist. You could try it with cream or ice cream. Will definitely be baking it again.

Loved it!
Easy to make I also had mine in my fan oven for an hour and 20mins. I did check on it at 45 mins and an hour.
Lovely with a cuppa tea!

Fantastic cake! Everyone in our house loves it! Has anyone tried reducing the amount of sugar in the cake?

A very delicious cake recipe, will definitely be coming back to this when i have some brown bananas! Wasn't sure what the crumble would add but it's just lovely. Took about an hour to cook, my only comment would be that there was a huge amount of mixture, so I needed a bigger tin. That's a good thing though really - means more to eat!

wow its super delicious thanks for sharing this awesome recipe, my family loved it. . . . i cooked before dinner time & it served our dessert, next time i'll do it again i have to adjust the oil. i use an organic wheat flour instead of the white flour cause im fond of organic ingredients specially its banana. thanks bbcgoodfood more power!

I have just made this for the honeymoon couple arriving to stay in our holiday cottages this afternoon (rather unromantically we had four black banana to use up!) but the cake has turned out beautifully, and has already been sampled and approved by everyone here!
Thank you. i can see it becoming one of our Tom's Barn favourites.
We had run out of pecans so used almonds, which tastes great. I also made it in a larger rectangular small tray bake type tray, so it cooked more quickly and is easier to cut up.

This cake is delicious. I used light brown sugar as didn't have any caster and it still was lovely.
I didn't use the pecan topping, but instead added a vanilla cream cheese icing which worked really well with it. I also added chocolate chips through the cake mixture which melted when baked which was delicious!

Enjoyed making this cake which is delicious, agree with others that takes about 1hr 20minutes to cook, thats on 160, fan assisted oven. Preparation is essential getting all ingredients ready prior to making.

This is such a delicious cake and just gets better as the days go by. I thought I had my favourite banana cake recipe but this one is now my favourite.
The only thing I would say is the quantities for the crumble seem off, I needed more flour otherwise it would've just been a melted butter topping, I added oats the second time I made it so we'll see how that goes.

Excellent cake - made it for the first time yesterday and it came out really well. Nice and moist and not too heavy. Just left it in the oven 5 mins extra. Didn't have any cinnamon so it was perhaps lacking a certain something but didn't get any complaints from my friends when they tried it! Think I'll be making this one again!!

This cake is the best banana cake ever. My boyfriend said it took him back to his childhood days reminding him of his nan's bread pudding. My sons asked me to bake it again so they could have a slice in their lunch boxes and one work colleague described it a bananalicious!
I did not have pecans so used walnuts and did not have golden so used half of caster and half of light brown. Cooking it again now as it did not last long.

This was a delicious banana cake - quite the best I have tasted. Lovely warm as a dessert or cold with a cup of coffee. I cooked it about 15 minutes longer than stated and used walnuts instead of pecan nuts. Even my non-cake-eating husband enjoyed it. Will certainly make this one agan.

Made this cake again but didn't put all the wet ingredients in. Turned out much better, lovely and light but still moist.

Just made this cake, had it in the oven for 1 hr 30 mins, and could have still done with another 5 or 10 mins as still very moist in the centre. Could have something to do with my crap oven! However this didnt detract from the wonderful flavour, the crumble topping is just delicious also. Will definetely make again.

i love banana cake and this is the nicest one i have tried. about to make another as it was soooooooo good. went into lunch boxes for my 2 boys school break and they loved it. it makes a good big cake that lasted a few days more than the usual loaf tin size. the crumble bit on top also amazing. Bit fiddly to do first time but worth it!!

First time I made this cake I was guilty of not following the recipe I replaced the egg whites with another whole egg, used hazelnuts instead of pecan nuts and totally left out the milk, I was so delighted with the results that I decided to make it again with all the correct ingredients. However I was very disappointed with this cake as it was very dense and the topping did not stay as a
crumble appearance unlike my first attempt, it also took 1 hour 45 mins to cook. I would suggest others to try this recipe without
the egg whites and milk and then it rates a 5 star.

Hi, i was wondering if someone can help me. i'm making this cake for my partners birthday and did a practise one yesterday. the cake tasted very nice, but was quite dense and the bottom half didnt have any air bubbles and was quite stodgy. i used a slightly bigger and less deep pan, so i know i have to use the correct sized one next time, but is there anything else that could have caused this? perhaps i should use an electric whisker to mix the batter before the egg whites are folded in?
also, how long do you think this cake will last in a cake tin? i will be sending it to america!

absolutely yummy cake! As others have said, once you get through the rather mish mashy instructions it is simple to make. I also replaced the pecans with mixed nuts and found it to be just as delicious.
I also had to bake it for approx. 15mins longer than the recipe suggested.
Overall though a very tasty cake!!!!
