    I've been a cook and a caterer for over 40 years. My daughter asked me to try this recipe. It was so disappoining, surely something was left out. I should have known when I saw the batter. I think I'll try it again but adding 1/2 cup of water and 4 eggs instead of 3. I'm determined to fix this recipe!

    This was quite disappointing!!! Read the reviews, figured it was good, saw that it was easy, decided to try it. There was something definitely WRONG with this recipe PAULA!!!! Batter was dough - like till you added the oil and crushed banana's, then went and divided it into 3 - 9" cake pans as stated and found out a little too late I might add, that the batter would fill two 9" pans nicely. Baked at 350 for 23minutes exactly...and what to my surprise the cakes didn 't rise!!!! The pans were 9" x 2" deep and just maybe, each layer was one inch to one inch and a half!! Something was definitely missing....like maybe baking powder instead of baking soda? I don't know!!! The layers reminded me of what scones look like. The frosting was excellent but it overpowered the flavor of the cake itself. The cake was heavy, and dry....did not like it at all. Made it for a friend's birthday today and was embarrassed to say the least! Paula, would you PLEASE look over this recipe/redo it or something....I need your advice on this one!! MAYBE DO ANOTHER SHOW WITH THIS RECIPE ...STEP BY STEP AGAIN! I really believe there is seomething missing!!! Love you though No matter what!!!

    I'm a total fan of Paula Deen and her fantastic recipes. Again this one was a hit for my family and neighbors. Paula surely has brought cooking and baking from "scratch" back to life and fun for me. Thank you!

    Love Paula, but this cake was not as I would have expected. Very heavy and dense. Served it at a dinner at Christmas and saw that most guests had a hard time finishing one piece. Sorry, but very disappointing. :(

    This cake is soooo good. This is the first cake I ever attempted to make and it came out perfect. The cake was very moist. The only thing is that the frosting is a little sweet for me. I thought that the cake was sweet enough without the frosting so I did not put it on. Other than that the cake was awesome and everyone loved it!!!

    I'm not much of a baker but decided that I need to get away from the "box" kind. This was a recipe to follow. The taste was great. I like the added pecan to the cake mix, but I would not add more to frosting. That's just my opinion. Overall is was very tasty. The frosting is finger lickin' good!

    This cake had the best flavor. I nor my Nana ever put cinnamon in this cake. I thought it would relly change the taste but it did not. The cake was not heavy like sometimes the recipe Nana and we always use. Ours seemed more like bread instead of cake. We also always put walnuts in but all I had was pecans and we liked them so much better.

    Thanks so much and I watch you on TV all the time and as I always comment when trying Paula's recipes...Good Gravy she's done it again. If the message can get to Paula please let her know how much I have enjoy her recipes, her shows, her great sense of humor and her two wonderful sons of which I also have two such sons.

    Most warmly and sincerely,

    This recipe is absolutely the best one I have found. I had been using my mother's recipe for banana nut bread from the Bell's Best Cookbook for years. I decided to try this one and I sure am glad that I did. I needed a couple of goodies for several neighbors so I chose to make the recipe just as directed except to make it into mini muffins. It was a perfect bite sized treat. They are so moist and delicious. They would even been great without the cream cheese icing. Thank you Paula for another great recipe. I love all of your recipes.
