Notes

Note: The cooking time on this cake can vary greatly! Mine (alone with many readers) takes about 60 minutes. Check your cake at 55 minutes, if it isn't ready, continue cooking until a toothpick comes out clean (this can be up to an additional 20-30 minutes depending on your oven). The result will be moist and irresistible banana cake.
