Did you check the recipes section? They are all TNT.

There is one that has a base that is the same for both a carrot cake and a banana cake - since I tried out both of the carrot and banana variations, I haven't gone back to my old recipes! The tast is amazing and the cake is dense and moist. I did the banana recipe for some wedding cupcakes last month and it was a hit! The bride and groom came knocking to find out if I had extras or if I could do a batch for them to take with them on their honeymoon!
My granddaughter requested a banana cake for her 18th birthday this Sunday. So I too have been looking at banana cake recipes this week. I came a cross a recipe for Bananas Foster(sorry I don't remember who's it is) and I tried it. I had a 4" white cake in the freezer and filled it and it was very good and very bananay(is that a word LOL). I asked my DH if I should use a banana cake and thought it would be too much to have both banana cake and banana filling. Let me know if you want the recipe.
I've used this one for a birthday cake. It came out delicious, but you might want to try recipes first to see if you'll like them.

It's different from regular banana cakes that are usually a little heavy and a bit oily. Warren Brown from Cake Love uses potato starch in his cakes to make them lighter (I think it's his equivalent of using cake flour). Here's a blogger, talking about this cake:

Do you have a link to that recipe? I'm needing a banana cake for ths week and a carrot cake for a few weeks from now.

I've done both several times and always get rave reviews! They are great as is - so very little need for tweaking - just pick whatever add-ins you want or leave them plain .
imaginethatnj, I just got Warren Brown's book last week and read it cover to cover. So this week I bought the potato starch and ordered 16 brioche tins (crunchy feet). I have not made made any of his recipes yet, so I appreciate the info on the banana cake. I already have two banana recipes... one for Bananas Foster cupcakes and one delicate recipe I pair with mocha french meringue buttercream. I don't have a "regular" banana cake recipe.
Thanks for the info. I may try this one first.
I have 3 other favorite banana recipes. This is one of the other ones that could be used for a wedding cake. The other two taste to me much like banana bread.

Hope the link comes through. There was a group of bloggers, about 100 of them, who baked from the Sky High cake book during a whole year, so if it doesn't come through, you can definitely do a google search for the recipe.
It's my favorite cake book for scratch cake recipes. Not so much for the frostings, which are heavy-cream based. I just replaced them with flavored IMBC.

Thank you!
Have you had any issue with it being too oily? I noticed it calls for a cup and half of oil. That seems like a lot to me, but maybe it needs it?

I use the carrot one all the time and have not had any issues about it being oily as I stated before I always get rave reviews.
