I've never made a banana nut layer cake before, but this recipe made it easy. The cake was delicious, and I'll definitely be making it again.

This cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too runny. I don't recommend this recipe.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The cake was moist and flavorful, but the frosting was a bit too thick for my taste.

This recipe is missing some important steps. It doesn't say how much flour to use, or how long to bake the cake.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

This cake was easy to make and turned out great! I used a bundt pan instead of a layer pan, and it still came out perfect.
