Very yummy!! Loved that it has a lighter texture than most banana cakes. I didn’t even frost it~just sprinkled it with confectioners sugar. Delicious!

Great cake! I didn’t have pastry flour, so had to substitute all-purpose flour, but it’s still moist and yummy! Frosting is good, but I added about 1/2 cup of powdered sugar to make it a little sweeter.

Yummy….I substituted the toasted pecans for glazed pecans…very nice flavor combo!

I made this for a social gathering and everyone liked it. Next time I will definitely add powdered sugar to the frosting to bump up the sweetness and will probably substitute all-purpose flour for half of the whole-wheat pastry flour to get a lighter crumb. Very good!

Also, I did not go out and buy whole wheat pastry flour – I used All-Purpose flour in equal proportions and it worked just fine.

I made this for the college kids to take on Spring Break with them and they reported that this was a winner – gone the first day. I was a little skeptical about the icing, but received no negative feedback on it. I checked that out with Erica and she suggested adding powdered sugar if you like sweeter icing.

I loved the cake! The icing did not turn out the way I expected, but the cake was great without it.

the cake is perfect! very light and just sweet enough. I did add some additional confectioners sugar to the frosting (1 tablespoon or so) and a pinch of salt. What a combo! Delicious!
