  1. The descriptor is dead-on right. I used black bananas, toasted the nuts before adding to the mix, and ended up supplementing the vanilla with a tiny bit of orange extract (ran a bit short on the vanilla). Instead of a loaf pan, I used a fluted tube pan: it baked in about an hour. As it cooled, I made up rum glaze, poked some holes into the cake, and poured it all around. Hope this isn't too much susbtituting for you! But it did come out quite wonderful, and ended up winning us some new friends at the B&B we went to this weekend. Thank you for this!
     
  2. It tastes great, but the middle of the bread fell in during cooking.
