this recipe is not altogether light and fluffy but...OMG, it's fantastic! just tried it a few days ago and it is spot on. I made it as a layered cake vs sheet...two 9" x 2" rounds.

I made a WONDERFUL banana cake this past weekend!!!  Not heavy or dense.  But, light and moist.  Perfect for an old fashioned banana caramel layer cake.  I finally perfected my caramel.  It is soft and melts in your mouth and has not one single sugar crystal in it.  Smooth and silky and not crunchy like a good caramel cake should have.  With all the depth of flavor one could ask.

 

I only had 1 cup of sugar so I subbed 1/2 light brown sugar.  Instead of AP flour I used cake flour(which I always do) and I added 1/2 tsp of baking powder.

 

If you would like to try it here's the link
