  This was absolutely the worst banana cake recipe I have ever made. After one mouthful, the rest went out to the birds. Fingers crossed tomorrow morning they won't all be lying about in the garden with their little legs in the air!!!

  I have never reviewed anything on a website before, but I had to review this recipe. I wasn't sure how it would turn out after seeing some of the comments about it being stodgy and heavy but it is delicious. I used butter instead of marg as some others have done and I used golden caster sugar. It is really light and fluffy and rose beautifully. I'm now trying to resist eating it all before my husband comes home so that he can see I've actually made a cake!!!

  Made this with dairy free sunflower spread for my son who is allergic to dairy. Also didn't need a food processor - just a very enthusiastic toddler with a spoon!!! Cooked up lovely and everyone enjoying it - very moist.

  Lovely cake. Used butter in one version and part butter and part coconut oil in another. Both delicious. I don't have an electric food processor so mixed it in a manual one. I think it would work fine in a blender too especially if you put the wet ingredients in first.

  Ive just made this and its in the oven now-can't wait to see what it comes out like. I've made the banana and walnut loaf several times and that is delicious but as it needs 500g of bananas and I only had 2 very ripe sad ones I thought I would try this. Very easy to mix- took me under 10 minutes with food processor. Fingers crossed its a success.

  I tried this recipe and there are several things wrong with it (and i only realised this after trying others) 1) there isn't enough self raising flour hence my cake was like a brick. should be 4 oz butter, 6 oz sugar and 8 oz self raising flour 2) the oven is not hot enough, should be 180 degrees 3) the flour shouldn't be blended with the other ingredients, This only makes the cake mixture stiff and so will not rise properly when in the oven happy cooking and even happier eating!

  Nice and easy to make but definitely too sweet. Surprisingly light-will make again. Wonder if I have enough self discipline to slice and freeze!
