Very tasty! I would have liked a bit more banana taste, so would add an extra banana next time. I also thought it could be a bit sweeter-- I ended up putting some maple syrup on top as "icing" and then it was perfect. Perhaps making a sauce of maple syrup and a bit of rum and pouring it over the cake would be a good idea. Made as instructed using 4 Tbsp rum, except used oil for butter, maple syrup for sugar, and to make it gluten free 1.5 c. rice flour, .5 c tapioca starch, 2 tsp xanthan gum for the flour.
