The cake is a simple banana cake and my frosting separated. I consider myself to be an advanced baker and I had bananas I needed to use. I had all the ingredients for this so I tried it. It's good, but nothing great. The frosting tasted great except it separated so was ruined.

This was my first attempt at baking a cake from scratch. My husband had always had banana cake from our local bakery since he was little. So the pressure was on! I did add sliced of banana between the two layers and everyone loved it! Also it makes a lot of frosting so there is plenty for top, middle and sides. Serve with a nice vanilla bean ice cream and get ready for seconds!

Easy to make and I loved the frosting! Very light and fluffy. I lost my husbands favorite banana cake recipe and have not been able to find it again anywhere. He said this is a close 2nd, so until I find his favorite again. I will be making this one!

I made this for my one-year-old grand-daughter's huge party. It is AWESOME! It was so light and fluffy, probaly because of adding the whipped egg whites at the end. I was amazed by how good it was, and the reception it got! Did not try the frosting, since I was making a monkey face cake and used regular canned fudge frosting. It was a good combination! My young adult son, who usually will have nothing but "chocolate on chocolate" cakes for his birthday, said he wants to SWITCH to this banana cake, he likes it so much!

I just made this recipe with a few substitutions. I used coconut oil instead of shortening and 1 cup of white whole wheat flour to try to make it a little healtier. I made cupcakes and they came out fabulous. Moist and spongy. I am going to use coconut buttercream to top them. YUM!

Loved this recipe. Doubled it and made three layers. Wrap in plastic wrap while warm and freeze. Then easy to frost. Made traditional cream cheese frosting with a layer of fresh bananas in between the layers. Brought rave reviews and will make again. Want to try and transfer it to cupcakes. Wow!

Delicious. I've made this recipe twice and it's a favorite of mine. A few notes.. to avoid the runny icing you MUST follow the instructions in this recipe and NOT those on the box. (Use 1 cup of milk instead of 3. Yes, you need TWO 9 inch pans. I made this recipe a bit healthier by: 1 using 1 cup turbinado sugar for the cake in place of 1.5 cups sugar 2 replacing the shortening with an equal amount of avocado 3 cutting the amount of sugar, shortening, and butter for the frosting in half (this yields slightly less frosting so you may want to adjust accordingly. The cake was very dense this time around but still delicious. Next time I'll experiment to get a fluffier result. However, the taste was spot on (super banana-y and not overwhelmingly sweet. I also added a swirl of raspberry jam to the top of the cake. Delish!

I made this cake and read through the directions not noticing the yields: 2 9 inch layers at the very beginning. In the directions it says to pour into "a buttered 9 inch pan". I baked it a little longer at a lower temperature and it is delicious. I couldn't wait for it to cool and frost. I ate a piece warm and really enjoyed it. I will definitely make this again~ in 2 pans next time!
