Wow, I am really disappointed. I wanted to make the cake you had a picture of, and this is NOT that. The frosting is awful and overly sweet. I wish I had made the vanilla frosting you had in the picture.

This looks delicious! Do you think I could get away with making the layers ahead of time and freezing them? I want to make this as one of a few cakes for my friend’s 40th, but I have two small kids and only get about a half hour of free time at a time. 😀

I make this cake allll the time! Its perfect for everything. I’ve never tried the penuche frosting – we use the frosting recipe from your book, the one from the Raspberry Cream Cake. Which, speaking of, is our very favorite frosting recipe ever! I’d eat it by the spoonful if I could (actually I might. But don’t tell.) Back to the cake, we love it. Thank you so much, Sarah, this cake is indeed a keeper!

Would this recipe work baking it in a 1/2 sheet pan?

In reply to Betty.

Hi Betty – I’m so sorry it didn’t work out for you! I did have a couple readers make the penuche frosting and it turned out well for them. I’ll have to make it and see what I think. And, you’re right, I should have tested the recipe first! Normally I do, but I had heard good things about it and thought I would just trust it. I hope the banana cake turned out, though?

Frosting was a disaster!! Thick and gummy and hardened too quickly to spread. In future, perhaps you shouldn’t put in a recipe for a frosting you haven’t used:)

We loved this cake. We added a few extras. Thinly slice banana’s in between the layers. We also scraped the cake pan an cooked the crumbs till crunchy and added them on top of the sliced banana’s. We made it with the penuche frosting and felt the recipe did not make enough to frost the entire cake so we reheated the penuche and poured it over the top and let it drip all over. Will definitely make this again.

Bananas are my favorite thing ever and when I saw this recipe I knew I had to make it. It is delicious, sweet, but not overly sweet, moist and seriously so amazing!

I recently got this chai spice blend off of etsy and have been including 1 tsp of it into the recipe and it really puts them over the top! I would highly recommend it!
