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

  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.

  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.

  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 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.

  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 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!

  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.

  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!

  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!

  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.

  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.

  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.
