This is a very moist and easy to make cake. I agree, the recipe as is, only has a hint of banana. I substitute banana pudding for the vanilla pudding mix and I also add 1 teaspoon of banana extract to bump up the banana flavor. My family, friends and co workers love this cake.

Sorry ... just didn't care for this. It tasted like a yellow cake mix with just a hint of banana.

Very easy and yummy! I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors and lightness of the recipe. I agree with another reviewer in that this is not a pound cake, but more like a banana spice cake.

Delicious and very easy recipe. I increased the cinnamon to 1 teaspoon.

Very good! Both my boys loved it. i've made it twice in 2 weeks. The second time i made muffins which my son promptly ate about 6! Its not as heavy as pound cake in my opinion but still really good and is now my go to recipe for banana bread. thanks!
