What a cake!! This was the best cake ever.... It came out with such a delicate banana taste and the walnuts were a great compliment.. I would give this easily 5 stars.. Thansk Lisa for sharing this recipe.

    This is good, a moist dense cake, I added macadamian nuts instead of walnuts and a few white chocolate chips.... I did not ice this cake, I used 1 % milk and soured it with abit of vinegar. Lovely with tea, or for a sweet tray.

    This cake is very tender and moist. It is a great way to use up those ripe bananas. ***1 cup mashed bananas=2-3 medium bananas*** Also, this is an 8-inch layer cake, so the recipe makes about 12-16 servings. GREAT with cream cheese frosting (8-oz. cream cheese, 1/2 cup butter, 1 lb. powdered sugar, and 1 tsp. vanilla- beat on high until light and fluffy).

    I tried this instead of the usual banana bread, and my family and I all loved it. I followed the recipe exactly, and used cream cheese frosting (1 stick butter, 8 oz cream cheese, 1 box XXXX sugar) and the recipe is definitely a keeper. Next time I will use 9" pans, since it's big enough to do so.
