My neighbor makes something similar, this is good!


Mother snuck a slice before it had a chance to ferment (sorry, mellow) overnight. Said it was good but I'll be the judge of that, tomorrow.


Has great flavor but is a little on the crumbly side, so it could be a little moister.


Every time I make it ( and as my friends ) it comes out extremly moist!!! I can only suspect, overbaking or over mixing?


I actully have this recipe at home ( by a different name ) and it is one of the moister banana cakes I have ever made. All I can suggest is don't overbake. It's 5 all the way!


Hi Midge. After waiting a full 24 hours, the cake is no longer crumbly. It is nice and moist.
I didn't wrap the cake as instructed. I put it under the glass dome of my cake display. Please, please, please, don't slap me around too much.


No problem, . Thanks for the input and I tried to edit the recipe with a better description, tips etc

:)
