Thiis was better than a heavy banana muffin, nice and light and the crunchy topping is divine! I added 5 bananas and baked it in 2 square pans for 40 minutes.

As the top pastry chef for my church, I found this item to be a top seller and favorite at our annual bake sales.

Easy and quick to make; delicious to eat. I used walnuts and vanilla extract in place of slivered almonds and almond extract. We loved it served with whipped topping for dessert.

We did not use the almonds and substituted semi-sweet chips for the vanilla chips, and this cake was delicious! My family loves banana bread, but I think we liked this even better. Definitely a keeper.

My family loves this recipe. I use chocolate chips, rather than vanilla or white chips. Nummy!

I've made this cake several times and we love it. I do have to bake longer than stated. Otherwise great cake, very moist.

I agree with cherrylady. Edges of cake were excellent. But center was actually still raw,even though toothpick came out clean. I recooked the cake an additional 40 minutes, and it was better, but I think I will also try two 8 X 8 pans.

The edges of this cake were yummy! When the edges were as crusty as I dared let them get, the center was still wet. Next time I'm going to bake it in two 8 x 8 pans.
