    Made this cake for a group of church friends and EVERYONE raved about how it looked too good to eat, but once they gave in, they couldn't get enough!

    The directions for this cake are wrong in a couple places - beware! It says to sift flour, sugar, soda, powder and salt, then in the next step you are to cream the sugar and butter! Too late,sugar was sifted... I had to throw the dry ingred. away and also, the cream is extremely easy to overcook. Use low heat! Finished product was good, but not worth the expense.

    I had several problems with this recipe, and I'm a pretty experienced baker. The first time I tried to make the cream, it seized up. The second time, it never really set up, so I just whipped it until it was thick enough to use. The cake part was definitely more like banana bread than a cake. Overall, the flavor was pretty good though. Maybe it was the weather...

    although I agree with the earlier review that it tasted like banana bread and it lacked a sweetness. I made this for my husband's birthday. No one really raved about it. I picked it over a traditional boston cream pie, because my husband loves bananas.

    This is indulgent, no doubt about it. I made fresh whipped cream to top it off and was in heaven.

    a beautiful cake but the taste was a little off for me. the cake tasted like banana bread but needed more sweetness. the cream and ganache were good.

    This is a wonderful recipe, a little involved but excellent. The bananas add a wonderful richness and depth to the cake. I have made this several times and will continue to make it. The pastry cream is easy to overcook, so be careful.
