Expert Tips

Bananas that are turning brown and soft are just right for using in recipes like this cake.

Brown bananas? Toss them, unpeeled, in the freezer. They'll be ready when you need them for any recipe using mashed bananas. Simply thaw, peel and mash.

For a change, serve the cake in triangles instead of squares. Cut the cake lengthwise in half and crosswise into fourths; cut squares diagonally in half.

For a room temperature cake, cool about 1 hour, and do not heat frosting before spreading.

i made this cake today except i substituted the white cake mix for banana cake mix (not Betty Crocker, according to the site there isn't a Betty Crocker banana cake mix). I kept everything else the same, and it came out really good. Next time I might try it with the white cake mix, but i really liked it this way. My one complaint is that it doesn't rise very well.

I was disappointed with this cake. I was looking for a quick banana cake since my traditional one is so time consuming. I thought the cake was very moist but very bland. I doubt I will be making this again. Nothing like banana bread like the description suggests.
