This recipe really sounded good.. however, it's very poorly written and a bit confusing.. your ingrediants called for baking soda, but you say baking powder in the instructions.. also, you did not say when to add the bananas.. I had already started to make this, so it was too late before I realized the confusion. I ended up looking up other similiar recipes to see how they were written. The cake is in the oven now, so I'm hoping it will turn out.
