I'm not a big fan of banana nut cake, but this recipe changed my mind. It was so moist and flavorful, I couldn't get enough of it.

The cake didn't rise very well. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found this cake to be a little dry. I think I'll try adding more butter or oil next time.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
