I have made this recipe a number of times now, it doesn't last long in our house,

Was my first time making anything like this and was very happy with the results. I used 2.5 bananas as that was all I had left, and although it's not strongly flavoured with banana it's still very yummy. Much nicer than cereal for breafast and also suitable for anytime of the day.

Was a very delicious loaf/cake... cake-loaf! I left out the pecans due to allergies. Maybe the inclusion of Mixed spice?

Well, I've no idea what I did wrong, but this was a disaster! My oven is quite hot and usually everything cooks and bakes quicker than recipes advise. However, this rose and browned on top but just didn't cook inside. I covered it with foil and left it in the oven for double the time. Pressing on the top of the cake it was very soft and the skewer kept coming out showing that it was uncooked inside. In the end I had to give up and turn the oven off. Having cooled, the cake has sunk, the outside is rubbery and the inside nothing like it should be. Definitely won't be making this again! Shame as I was looking forward to it for breakfast!! Think this cake will have to go in the recycling bin. :-(

great, easy, yummy cake!

I substituted the nuts for coconut and omitted the lemon. It turned out great!

Great, simple recipe. Brilliant way of using up over-ripe bananas. Took it into uni yesterday and it was very popular - everyone went back for a second slice! I couldn't be bothered with the lemon topping but I think I'll try that next time. It took longer than 50 mins, more like 1hr and 15 mins (fan oven) but the result was worth the wait.

Far from 5 out of 5! Tried this recipe twice now in different ovens... Still no better. Not sweet enough. Only edible with custard.

The loaf itself was lovely and moist but will definitely not add the lemon sugar in future...the flavours did not compliment each other at all in my opinion!

Yum yum and yum....made this loaf this morning, used walnuts instead of pecans but still delicious, had to leave in the oven a little longer than stated in the recipe! Moist cake and went down a treat with all those who had a slice!

Very Simple and tastes great!

Love this cake. Used normal flour as no wholemeal available. Left out pecans and used the drizzle topping. Beautifully moist and great flavour. Make sure you beat it well. Found it needed 10 minutes more cooking than recommended.

Baked this today, followed recipe but had to put back in oven for 50 minutes longer and still not cooked in the middle
What a let down

This is by far the best banana loaf / cake I have every made. Great consistency ( not gluey), great flavour - pecans much more interesting than the traditional walnut. Really delicious. The children had some after having their weetabix and gave it top marks! This will be a family favourite. Fantastic! Used free range eggs and organic flour. Followed the recipe to the letter, but left out the lemon sugar as we are not into very sweet things! My children have told me not to give any to anyone else outside the family!

Made this with rice flour and missed out the nuts nom nom nom yum yum :-)

Loved this!

I tried this recipe a few weeks ago. The loaf rose and then sank when I took it out of the oven. I followed the recipe to the letter - don't know what went wrong! Doubt I will try it again.

Im not sure what i did wrong? Loaf looked great in oven and dropped massively when taken out. Was really heavy and despite giving more time didn't seem cooked when I cut into it. I'm new to baking so not sure what texture it should be before goes in oven. So many great ratings so must be my lack experience. I'll def try again when I've got more overripe bananas.

I swapped pecans for 100g sultanas. I have tried several banana breads & this one is the best. Love that it takes 4 ripe bananas (rather than just 2), uses much less fat & sugar than other banana cakes, there is wholemeal in it, so the hubby & son don't even know it's good for them. I think the wholemeal meant that it stood up for longer afterwards for packed lunches etc... This did take over an hour to cook though.

So Easy and tasty!!! A must for remake!!!
