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.
