This was really tasty! We had this as coffee cake, and the combo was great. The banana flavor wasn't too strong (I don't care for bananas but my fiance does, so I baked this for him). The frosting was just right since I only topped the cake, and didn't frost the sides. I am baking this again. Too bad the other reviewer didn't like it, we thought it was a kepper.

Thought the cake tasted great- but just a few changes! I put the oven on 350 instead of 375 for 45 minutes and it was still moist and just perfect! Also, I just bought cream cheese frosting from Betty Crocker that tasted better and was easier b/c I didn't have to make it!! My husband does not even care for bananas, but he loved the cake!!

This Sounded so good... Cake was heavy and frosting too thick to spread, tasteless. Ended up tossing... Not worth the calories
