This was an excellent recipe! I used almond flour and didn't see much of a difference. It was slightly moist but I think that was because I tried to divide it into two cake pans b/c I was going more for a 'birhtday cake'. It works better in one pan. It comes out more like banana nut breat, but alot sweeter. You don't need any kind of topping!
