I made this cake for my daughter's first birthday and it was a huge hit. My daughter loved it! I made a the regular cake and I took some of the batter and made 2 large muffins for my daughter and 2 year old son. She devoured her cake. And my neighbor loves it so much she wants to make for a church fundraiser. This is the best recipe ever. It took my oven an hour and a half to bake the cake, but it was well worth it.

This is my first "from scratch" cake. It was THE BEST!!! I, too, had to bake it for 1hr 20min in my oven and I also did the freezer thing. I think that made it!! And I made bundt cake. I made it for my Uncle Spider, cause he loves banana cake. I brought it to our family breakfast on Sunday at my Gramma's home. My Uncle Spider ate two pieces immediately after he ate breakfast!!! I've never felt so proud. Even my Mom, who is usually critical in one way or another, LOVED it! Everyone took some home with them and the last piece I took home but forgot it on the counter, so I threw it in the garbage the next day and my MOM FREAKED!!! She screamed that she would have eaten it anyway, because it was so yummy. Thanks so much!!! I will be making this cake for many many years to come. It's #1 in my recipe folder.

This is THE BEST cake I have made! It is so good, I want to stand on the corner and give away samples! ( I AM a bit proud!) Instead of 9 x 13, I made two layers and I did use the freezer step. Incredibly moist. Thank you ever so much for sharing this tremendous cake.
