Great flavor and super easy, but I think next time I make it, I'm going to make less of the milk mixture. Might just be how humid it is where I live, but it didn't absorb very much of it.

Made this cake for a work potluck. I was amazed by how moist and flavorful it was. For the person who asked about taking it out of the pan - no, there is no way to get it out of the pan. I used a 9" x 11" glass baking dish so it looks great. Just slice it up right out of the pan.

I made the cake just for fun one day and it was so easy to do. I was so surprised how good it was that in less than one week I am making it again. I added an extra banana just to enhance the banana flavor. Taste great really cold.
