our house hold also really enjoyed this. made it yesterday and DH requested it again today - but had to be served with custard.
It is actually the "lightest" cake i have made so far with my TM.

A couple of weeks ago we had 3 very very black bananas that were just about to be thrown in the bin by DH. "DON'T THROW THEM OUT!!! I'll make a banana cake!" and I did. And then a couple of friends came over for arvo tea and in 2 mins flat the cake was gone, and our friend said that was the best banana cake he'd ever had  :D (I doubt he would have eaten as much as he did tho if he'd seen what the bananas looked like ha ha)

Bananas that are black make the best flavored banana cake, although I never get to leave them that long as the kids eat them so quick they don't get a chance to blacken.

I have 4 bananas that have started turning black very quickly. Don't think the kids will eat them now (one spot of black and they don't touch them) bonus for me cause I will make a banana cake tomorrow or the next day.

I had some bananas to use up so made this yesterday. Very nice and light - I didn't bother icing it, lovely just on its own. There's so many banana cake/bread recipes on this forum, hopefully I'll get through them all! This one is definitely a keeper.

Glad you all liked the recipe.  It's one I was given by a friend so many years ago and luckily it works just as well in the TM.

i am going to make this today;.

And if you freeze ur bananas (in the skin) they are suitable to add to cooking ( they will be very mushy and only takes a few mins to defrost ... well in north qld anyway  ;D ).... often by a bag of discounted banana's divvy them up into smaller bags and freeze.... can use them in the custard recipe too.
as long as you keep eating my pancakes .....i will stand here and keep flippin them out filled with nothing but love in my heart 'cause you chose my table to sit at =)P

My kids eat bananas by the truckload.  We freeze them peeled and cut up and they like to add them to smoothies along with the ice. Smoothies come out Boost style.

We freeze bananas too and I find them much easier and cleaner to peel them first.

 In summer, the kids love Likety Sticks - frozen bananas on sticks.

I made this for a friend's birthday and it was a big success. So light and fluffy. I iced it with cream cheese with lemon juice and maple syrup added, and just a bit of icing sugar.
This will be my "go to" recipe for banana cake from now on.

Great recipe, Trudy, and thanks for putting it your "favourites", CP  :)
