  Left out the nuts and the glaze and it was still wonderful, took less than an hour to cook though (which was fine by me!).

  Made ths today. It was really easy, I just threw all the ingredients into the food mixer. I added walnuts instead of pecans. It came out a treat. Very moist because of the banans, its heavier than a sponge and not too sweet.

  This is lovely. I didn't use lemon topping as didn't need it. I mixed half the pecans into the mix and sprinkled the other half on top before baking for a crunchy topping. Yum! Makes a lovely breakfast or snack to take to work.

  This is delicious. I am not used to bake but this loaf is so easy. I found the recipe by googling what to do with overly ripped bananas. It is easy, not very sweet. Needs to cook a little longer in my ovens (about 15 minutes like other persons recommended here). Also, it doesn't work with not very ripped bananas and needs to cool quite some time to "settle". After I save it until next day in an airtight container it tastes even better.

  This is lovely, sweet and filling. The cake lasts for a few days in foil and tastes delicious with the lemon sugar glaze. You can eat it anytime as a snack. Walnuts work well too.

  I don't do a lot of baking but I love baking this, I even let our banana's go over ripe on purpose so I have an excuse to make it! Its so easy and tasty. Have tried it with chocolate pieces in too, and that works great if you want to make it extra tasty!

  Loved this recipe - it just fit in my 2lb loaf tin so not sure about other people's reports that there is too much mixture. I chopped a few dates and added them in (my bananas weren't really really ripe so thought it may lack a little sweetness). Turned out really lovely and has kept for 4 days and still really yummy. Delish! Definitely making this one again :)

  Lovely texture and really easy to make. Like others, I didn't bother with the lemon topping - just sprinkled over the bran from the flour (which I had forgotten to mix in to the batter) and some sugar. I found I had to leave it in about 10 minutes longer than the recipe suggested though.

  Really tasty and not overly heavy - I left off the lemon drizzle and swapped the nuts for blueberries, yum!

  Made with walnuts instead of pecans and didn't bother with the topping - still really delicious and a good way to use up bananas which are past their best.

  I have never made a cake I am so proud of! It was easy peasy and so moist and delicious...I swapped nuts for raisins and added some cinnamon...didn't bother with the icing, it was beautiful just as it was! Baked 1 on Friday, another on Saturday and they were both gone on Sunday! mmmm....

  Really moreish. I used half sugar, half sugar-replacement to reduce calories. My hubby turned his nose up, hoping it was cake rather than bread, so I ended up eating it all by myself! No hardship. I baked one for my mum on mother's day to her delight.

  Fantastically easy and absolutely delicious. I put a little mix dried fruit in it and it was fabulous. Am going to try again with a bit more dried fruit as the taste was on the verge of a lovely fruit loaf.

  Made this today and is great, the only change I have made is to add 50g of porridge oats to the mix, unable to say if better than the recipe but it works for me and the wife.

  What is it about this cake that beats me every time, normally I can cook anything and everything, but this cake come out of the oven so heavy I could use it in the foundations of the house. Please can anyone make a suggestion as to where I�m going wrong and what I can do to put it right�.�

  sarah1901...mine also came out like a brick! It was dense and heavy though still delicious. My friends mum used to make the most delicious banana bread and I was hoping for similar results. My bananas weren't as ripe as I would have liked so this may have added to it not being so sweet...maybe should have waited for them to start turning black? That said, warm out of the oven with a smearing of butter, it was good. I'll try again with riper bananas and take my time and hope for better results.

  Very tasty but I think that it would probably taste better without the lemon topping which didn't add anything for me. Also left out the nuts as didn't have any - tasted fine without.
