When I mentioned the recipe contest to my husband, he immediately suggested I enter this extra special cake. Packed with ripe bananas and white chocolate in the batter, it tastes wonderful even without the frosting.

Very good, moist cake. Used melted semi sweet chocolate chips instead of white chocolate and I threw in a couple of cups of blueberries and use blueberry sauce instead of frosting. Delicious!

This is a familly favorite and we make it a lot. It is a wonderful cake and yes, make it the day before you want to eat it. Flavors meld and gets moister with time. Must make in layers like this and not cupcakes or 9x13. Not as moist or good otherwise. I always line bottom of pans with parchment and make sure not to over cook. Also, icing is always made to taste so taste it before adding more powdered sugar. I usually make with 3.5 to 4 cups of sugar because I want to taste the cream cheese and not just sweetness. Must try!!!

Lovely cake. Gets better next day as flavours meld....."Icing is too sweet," that was my 5 year old grand daughters comment and she is right. I will make again but make icing less sweet. and less of.

This cake is so moist. I put it in a 9 X 13 pan and bake it 55 minutes. I have made this many times and it is always good.

It has a real banana test, really good. Would make again, did butter instead of shortening. Would try more white chocolate. Frosting I change because of the comments that I appreciate. Only 1/2 cup butter and 3 cups sugar.

Going to make this tonight. It looks so good! I am going to change a few things though, because of what I have on hand......Making the cake the way it says except I'm putting it into a bunt pan. And instead of the frosting, I'm going to drizzle with melted white chocolate. Will let you know how it turns out!

Excellent cake recipe. Not too heavy. I didn't have white baking chocolate so I grated Nestle white morsels and added them to the batter at the end. I only wanted a one layer cake so I make cupcakes with the rest of the batter - they were a huge hit. I didn't use the frosting recipe. I topped with whipped cream and a cherry. This recipe is a keeper.

Made this cake for our Fourth of July party, and it was a hit! Didn't change a thing in the recipe. Can't wait till the bananas get ripe so I can make it again!
