Tip

Banana Basics

Look for plump bananas that are evenly yellow-colored. Green bananas are under-ripe, while a flecking of brown flecks indicates ripeness. If bananas are too green, place in a paper bag until ripe. Adding an apple to the bag will speed the process. Store ripe bananas at room temperature. To prevent bruises, a banana hook or hanger is a great inexpensive investment. For longer storage, you can place ripe bananas in a tightly sealed plastic bag and refrigerate. The peel will become brown but the flesh will remain unchanged. One pound of bananas equals about 3 medium or 1-1/3 cups mashed.

Sweet White Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a sweet white wine such as Moscato or a sweet Riesling.

was good, but i wouldn't consider it a CAKE. It was just a banana bread recipe in a bundt pan.

I enjoyed it, but was disappointed that it wasn't more cake-like.

This recipe is much much better than banana bread recipe......goes a long way and is delish Top with powdered sugar when cooled.....for a nice finished look

A butter flavor shortening and/or vanilla butter & nut flavoring (in place of vanilla extract) marries well with this recipe if you prefer to tone down the bananas. However, the cake is really perfect all by itself. We so enjoyed it!

This one's a keeper. I will now make this instead of banana bread - definitely better. Thanks for sharing!

Very good & came out perfectly. I typically make banana bread w/my ripe bananas, but was glad I tried this recipe for a change.

Best ever... I have been trying to find the moistest Banana Bread and this one rates #1 in a bread pan or a Bundt pan.

Great way to use up those overripe bananas. I did use butter instead of shortening and I added a handful of dried cranberries so I may reduce the sugar by the 1/4 cup next time. Enjoyed by the whole family.
