  I absolutley love this recipe, my husband even things its better than his mums!! Its so easy to make, put all the ingredients in and away you go. I added 60g of raisins as my husband has a nut allergy and it works really well! It went down a treat with a cup of tea and a bit of butter spread on it.

  Wasn't impressed with this recipe. When I looked in the oven the fat content of the cake was bubbling over the top of the cake, resulting in it tasting fried! The cake was dense and heavy. I think it needs either more flour or baking powder to make it rise better. Mary Berry's recipe for cherry and banana cake is so much better.

  Yummmmm! Baked it in a sponge tin as I'm not an owner of a loaf tin and it came out perfectly - lovely and moist, but not too much so. Topped it with a cream cheese icing, mainly because I had some philadelphia to use up, but I'm glad I did this as it made a very good cake excellent (If only I could think of that well known phrase to descibe this! :))

  My 6 year old daughter and I have just made this and put in the oven, made a dozen buns and a small loaf tin full - added a few sultana's at my daughter's request... hope it turns out well as she's sat in front of the oven watching it bake! :o)

  Just made this for first time. After I'd mixed all the ingredients together with a hand blender it seemed too runny so I added a further two dessert spoons of flour. Our fan oven temp is always too high so I started cooking it on 150c for 40 mins in the middle of the oven. After 20 mins I noticed it was browning too much and was still very wet in the middle on testing with a knife, so turned it down to 80c for last 20 mins. After this it was still quite sticky inside so turned oven off and left it in for a further 20 mins, then took it out to cool. Let you know what its like tomorrow........ Next time I may cook it at 80c for the full hour and see what happens!

  love the simplicity of this recipe. But after reading other comments, i tried hard not to let it turn out stodgy, but sadly, it still did. Bit dissapointed. Still, i had fun making it.

  Well it was stodgy but it will be stodgy being a banana cake you can't really get away from that, that's how they are, very nice it was. Gonna make another one in a bit but think I will do as someone else suggested and make little ones in fairy cake cases as I left the big one too long before it got finished and it went mouldy.

  Well my little cup cakes turned out better than the loaf tin version. I made 31, 12 at a time in the tin at 100c for 15 mins, perfect! Nice and moist not dense and stodgy. Try it. I put about 20g less marg too (used Sainsbury light Olive) and used about half a teaspoon of baking power as well. 5 Stars!

  Made this twice now, stayed really moist and is so easy to make. I just used a hand whisk with the blender attachments and did as someone else suggested(when I found I didn't have a loaf tin) and used sandwich tins....its delicious !!
