Meet the Cook: When I was a girl, this was my family's favorite Sunday cake. Since I'm "nuts" about nuts, I added the pecans. It became our youngsters' favorite as well. My husband and I have four grown children and seven grandchildren. -Arlene Grenz, Linton, North Dakota

I made this in a bundt pan without the filling and it turned out great! I added nuts to batter, used 3 1/2 bananans and a touch ofcinnamon. I used light buttermilk and light butter to cut down some calories. Nice change from the dense banana bread because this cake is light and airy. I will make again!

This cake came out wonderfully! As a beginning baker, this was a satisfying recipe because it is not your typical cake, but it was not difficult to execute. Any easy initial "win," if you will. My husband loved it!I used all-purpose flour instead of cake flour. If you do this, you must adjust the amount of flour used: 3/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons of all-purpose flour for every 1 cup of cake flour called for. Also, I had to add a lot more powdered sugar than the recipe called for to get the frosting thick enough to spread. I just kept adding it by the tablespoon until it was thick enough.Other than that, no problem! Though, I might try adjusting some of the ingredients to bring down the calorie count. Overall, I had a great time making the cake and learned a lot.
