I was really suprised, I have had chocolate versions of mayo cakes, but never banana. This is very moist and delicious! I actually made these into cupcakes since DH wanted to take these as a treat to the kids where he works. I also frosted with cream cheese frosting. Thanks Deja A! I'll make these again!

Good and moist! I used cream cheese frosting on top and omitted the walnuts as I didn't have any. Was a nice change from chocolate mayo cake. Thanks for posting!

I love everything about food--cooking, eating, even grocery shopping, so I guess that would qualify me as a foodie! I love to read cookbooks and watch Food TV for inspiration, but mostly I just cook without recipes. There is nothing that I like better than plying my family and friends with a home-cooked meal. Food is love.
