This was an absolutely fantastic recipe. I baked it for my son's first birthday party and it was demolished. At least four people asked me for the recipe for the icing! Incidentally, that was the one thing I changed. I used significantly less powdered sugar--I just stopped adding sugar when I reached the desired consistency (I think it was more like 2.5 cups of sugar). Thank you so much for this great recipe!

This was a great recipe. I've never made a banana cake before and my DH loves caramel. Everyone demolished this cake. I'm going to always make this cake for every occasion I can think of. I only used 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar when preparing the frosting and it was still delicious. I also used cake flour which made the cake very light and moist. Thank you for such a great recipe!

this was really good, and the frosting was really the icing on the cake! the penuche was a welcome variation on the tired cream cheese frosting that regularly adorns my banana and carrot cakes. i will be using it again for sure. i added some walnuts to the batter to, to please my husband. we both really liked this.

Fantastic!! Small pieces are required since this is a very heavy cake. I even allowed my eldest DS a piece of this for breakfast-it DOES have bananas in it afterall...I think next time I may add Maple Extract and Walnuts. Thank You!

This is just the BEST cake, and the icing is awesome, it really made the cake for us!! I added chocolate chips to half of this cake, for my daughter and husband. A moist, delicious cake that will be the ONLY banana cake I ever make again! Thanks for a great recipe!

Made mine in 2, 2lb loaf pans. Make's it easy to slice for hubby's lunch box. The icing is the best. Thinking of making more and freezing them without the icing.

INCREDIBLE! This cake is absolutely outstanding. I chose to make this for my b'day this year. We have 3 birthdays in less than 1 month, and I really didn't want another chocolate cake. I'm so pleased at how this turned out - so moist and yummy. I used butter instead of margarine and also added 1 tsp. of vanilla to the cake. The cake is fabulous as is - it really doesn't need the frosting but I made it anyway (needed only 2c. of powdered sugar) and it's so rich and buttery - it takes it to another level. I read that one reviewer didn't think that the frosting paired well with a banana cake even though they didn't try it and I have to say I completely disagree. It was a terrific pairing and was extremely popular with my family. This will be a cake I make often. Thank you!

So yummy and really easy to make. My house smelled so good. I thought the icing would be too rich for this hot June day so I opted for strawberry cool whip. Perfect. It passed the hubby test too. He calls it my banana/strawberry cake. Thanks!

This was great! I took it to work and everyone loved it. The cake was very moist and the two flavors went well together. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks

Made this cake last night for dessert. It is WONDERFUL!! The flavor combination of banana and caramel is perfect! I only had three ripe bananas - can't imagine how it could be any better with four. Probably used about 2 cups of powdered sugar -just kept adding until it reached the consistency I wanted. Will definitely be a keeper at my house!
