Excellent! This butter coffee cake is so good, perfect with coffee or tea or for breakfast. More like banana bread in flavor and texture than a cake, but with a lovely cinnamon sugar swirl and topping. My standard-sized Bundt pan is 10 inches across and it was perfect at 36 minutes. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I made this today. The cake was very dense and didn't rise much. I think that it has a lot of bananas for the batter, and this is why it is so dense and - I want to say 'fudgy', but of course this has no chocolate, but that is what I want to say the texture is like. THis cake is also not very sweet. If I did make this again I would add the pecans, sugar, and cinnamon to the batter. Added on top of the cake it made a dry crust that tasted good, but was hard to slice and tended to seperate from the rest of the cake. Lest you think that I didn't like this cake - I have already eaten 3 pieces.
