Banana Loaf Cake I
SUBMITTED BY:
Sandi
PHOTO BY:
Suzey
"This recipe is a family favorite. It is great for using over ripe bananas. I usually double the recipe and make two loaves. You can also add walnuts if you wish. Note: When your bananas are over ripe, you can put them in the freezer until you are ready to use them."

What a success!!! This recipe was delicious. I didn't have any 'over ripe' bananas, so i used 4 instead of the recommended 3. I also covered the top with foil for the last 15 minutes which slightly steamed the loaf and made it deliciously moist!! Will be making this one again very soon!

What a great recipe. I've never had banana cake, and to me this tasted just like banana bread--which is exactly what I wanted. It had a great banana flavor, and was perfect for breakfast. I also cut down on the sugar (to about 3/4 a cup) and it was perfect for my taste. Thanks for a great recipe!

I have been making banana bread/cake for about 25 years and this is the best I've ever found. My kids (4 & 5) love making it w/ me - it's a great kid friendly recipe. If I serve it for breakfast I serve it as is, sometimes w/ butter. For dessert I make a powder sugar or cream cheese glaze (depends on what I have on hand) and pour on top of it while it is still warm (not hot)- this is my husband's favorite way to eat it. The glaze makes it more of a "cake" but still not overly sweet like regular frosted cake. Thank you Sandi for a great recipe!

I make banana bread all the time and I'm always looking for a new banana bread recipe. This one is not it. "Banana Cake" is misleading because it did not have a cake-like texture to me. It was yet another average bland banana bread recipe. The exterior gets too overdone and brown while the inside was rather dry. This is not a recipe that is different enough to stand out among all my other banana bread recipes.

The recipe was great! Like one other reviewer here, I thought it was a bit sweet but then that's a personal taste. Next time I'll cut the sugar out a bit. The texture and consistency was terrific. Thanks for sharing!

This banana bread is awesome! I used 4 bananas, and added about 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon and a couple of handfulls of chopped walnuts. I did have to bake it for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, but it was well worth the wait. I took it out of the oven about 20 minutes ago, and it's almost gone! Great recipe!

Finally a banana bread recipe that I like!! I have tried several recipes from this site that have been too bland, too dry, etc... This one is great!!! I took the liberty of making a couple changes after reading other reviews, I replaced the 1 cup sugar w/ 1/4 cup splenda and 1/2 cup brown sugar, added an extra banana, extra egg and some cinnamon. It was full of flavor, moist and delicious!!! Thanks for the keeper!!
