The frosting was too runny. I had to add more powdered sugar to thicken it up.

The cake was a little dry. I think I overbaked it. Next time I'll bake it for a few minutes less.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the frosting next time.

I've never been a big fan of banana nut cake, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so moist and flavorful, and the caramel frosting is to die for.

I love that this recipe uses ripe bananas. It's a great way to use up bananas that would otherwise go to waste.

This banana nut cake with caramel frosting is a match made in heaven! The cake is moist and fluffy, with a perfect balance of banana and nut flavors. The caramel frosting is rich and creamy, and it complements the cake perfectly. I highly recommend t
