Not bad, not bad at all!  Happy to have this recipe for when I've run out of eggs (like today).  I made the recipe as described and I was surprised at how much it rose using only baking soda.  There must be more acidity in a banana than I realized!  For better taste, I would use butter instead of oil and add a pinch of salt.

I must admit the only reason I tried this recipe was because I was out of eggs!  Now, it is a keeper.  A great combination between cake and bread.  Since I had buttermilk on hand I used that instead of the water.  A great recipe that we will be making for years to come.  The first time I made these out of necessity now I make them because they are so well loved!

Absolutely fabulous! I make a new banana bread/cake recipe at least twice a month and this is now my go-to! Thanks for great & easy recipe!

My son has a lot of food allergies. Soy, Eggs, Peanuts and treenuts. Finding treats for him is always a struggle and he often feel left out. This cake recipes is one of his favorites and provides a great birthday cake for all to enjoy!! He actually Begs me to make it everytime our bananas get ripe! LOL!!

I doubled this recipe and baked it in a 9x13 pan.  I let it cook 40 minutes which was still not enough time; it needed longer. You have to definitely check it with a toothpick so the middle will be cooked through. I used very ripe bananas and it had a strong banana taste. It was ok warm. My family thinks it would taste better cooled.  It doesn't need the powdered sugar; it's sweet enough.

I like this more than a lot of banana bread recipes I've tried. This is a major hit with my family. :)

Delicious tasting, dense cake.  I missed my deserts and finally found one without eggs or butter for that matter.  Wonderful with a warm tea or coffee.  This will become one of my regular deserts from now on.For a change, add chocolate or cinammon or apples for that matter.  All would be good I'm sure.Thanks for sharing and share others like this is you have any such deserts.

So easy to put together. I added some mini chocolate chips to mine. Just delicious. I like the idea of substituting buttermilk for the water. I will try that next time..but quite good the way the recipe is written.

This recipe is nice and easy to mix together. It's a great cake to make for busy week nights, or whenever you need a  treat that comes together quickly. I like to add some chopped nuts to the batter, as well for added cruch and flavor.

I hesitated to make this cake at first.  Finally I had only one really ripe banana.  I added about 1/2c. raisins.  This is a keeper.  Hubby and I liked it better than banana bread and muffins.

My husband really enjoyed the cake.  He liked it better than my banana bread recipe.  He said he could taste the banana in it.

This is a frequent after-school snack. I omit the dusting of powdered sugar-the kids enjoy it without.  I also use 1 cup all-purpose and 2/3 cup whole wheat flour.

This is very tasty, with a good texture. My grandson is allergic to eggs so this is super for him, and he just loves it. I used buttermilk instead of water. It is great both ways. Now I have something to do with that one banana that is always too ripe to eat! i have made it over and over as we all like it.

loved it!!!!  thank you to whoever posted the weight watchers points!!  this was excellent! Even my husband who doesn't like sweets asked for more!!!!!

This is definitely a keeper!  I'm always looking for recipes that make a smaller amount (for 2).  More than that, this cake is moist and sweet, and you can taste the banana!  In lieu of the canola oil, you can always substitute it with 1/3 cup applesauce to make this a completely fat-free cake, with all the moist flavor and goodness!  For a finished dessert, I might frost it very lightly with my caramel icing.  A KEEPER!

I got up this morning craving banana bread and found this recipe. So I made it and it was easy to put together and delicious!! I'll definitely make this again.

my grandchildren just love it, its very moist and tasty
