Wow, is this cake good . I made this recipe as written, but only made 1/2 the batter as I used my medium size bundt pan. The cake stuck to the pan when I tried to remove it, so it didn't look pretty, but boy did it taste great. The cake is incredible, moist and tender with a subtle banana flavor. I poured the glaze on while it was slightly warm, (just a personal preference), to allow the glaze to sink in and harden. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, we both loved it. Made for Susie's World Tour - Hawaii.

Absolutely wonderful cake, this is! After following the recipe right on down, when I got to the glaze I added one thing ~ 2 teaspoons of finely minced orange zest! Other than that, thought, I wouldn't change a thing! Definitely a 5-STAR cake at the very least! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in I Recommend recipe tag]
