This loaf baked up so nice and was just beautiful. It turned out nice and moist and not too sweet. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This is very good, moist banana cake. Liked the peanuts in it and on top for added crunch. Thank You. Made for ZWT7~Emerald City Shakers.

This is very good. Not to sweet. A tender crumb with a nice crunch on top from the nuts. I used unsalted nuts. I added 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon cardamom. Next time I`ll sprinkle some sugar on top with the nuts. Thanks Made for ZWT 2011
