  Fantastic recipe for beginner. Simple and delicious with great result. I cut down a bit of sugar as the banana is sweet enough. (personal choice). Love this recipe. Thanks

  I have found this recipe frustrating. The first time I made it, it rose very high although cracked along the middle. I forgot to remove it from the tin after ten minutes and it sank, or rather collapsed. The next time I made it, I took it out of the tin after 10 mins and it only sank slightly as one would expect any cake to do on cooling. The next time it collapsed again, I have tried twice more the last time was today when I took it out of the tin straight away and it has still sunk. I also reduced the temperature to 150 today as I have read that cracking of cakes followed by sinking can be caused by too high a temperature. It'll taste ok but the texture is too dense once it has sunk and so not suitable to offer to guests. Any suggestions please. Otherwise I'm giving up on it!

  I love this recipe, it's one of my favourite cakes. I usually put less butter to make it lighter :)

  I now find myself purposely not eating bananas so they get over ripe and I have an excuse to make this cake!

  It took a little longer than an hour to cook but so easy! Tastes delicious. I added dried cranberries instead of nuts and tasted scrummy!
