I found your recipe today and baked this cake. Mine turned out a bit dense and rich, but the cake is still moist and the flavor is really nice.

I mashed the bananas with the electric mixer until they became liquidy. I used dark brown sugar instead of muscovado. And I didn't cream the sugar and butter completely before adding the flour. All of these variations may have made the cake dense. Not sure until I try it again. Though I beat the eggs, I didn't fold them into the batter, another tip I've heard to make cake fluffier.

Ahhh yum! Another banana recipe. I love buying bananas and always end up with so many over-riped ones. I've tried this recipe you've posted up and it turned out really good. You're such a good source of interesting and delicious food... thanks for sharing! And... now, a low fat banana-blueberry one... such a treat such a treat!

Ging: I'll send you one if I can.

Spots: Oh sure, link away! This particular cake is actually named as Walnut Date and Honey Cake. I just renamed it because for me the dominant flavours are the banana and dates. Have fun with that cookbook, I love it.
