I tried this but it came out super soggy. Not sure what I did wrong 😕.
This cake is amazing! So moist and the bananas are divine!
Yummy!!! Best cake ever! So good I ate half. 😋
I substituted almond milk for buttermilk, and it didn’t taste right. Stick to the recipe!
I don’t like bananas. Can I use apples instead? Just wondering.
Using apples sounds like a great idea! It’ll give it a different flavor but still be yummy. Let us know how it turns out!
Tastes like heaven! My family couldn’t get enough of it. Will definitely make again! 🍌🍫
LOL, upside down cake?? I just flipped it and made it right side up! 😂
Really easy to follow tho I messed up the caramel; it burnt! I’ll try again.
Yummy! But what is 350°F? I just used high heat, lol. It works too!
LOL, high heat works too? That’s kinda brave! I always follow the temp exactly, but glad it turned out yummy for you! 🌟
350°F is important! If you use high heat, the cake might burn or not cook good inside. Just sayin’.
Easy to make! I didn’t have buttermilk, so I used regular milk with a bit of vinegar instead. Still turned out great!
Flop! My cake came out super dense. I think I messed up somewhere. Any tips for fluffier cake?
Eh, I’m not so sure about the buttermilk part. Why not just use regular milk? Can anyone explain?
I think buttermilk adds a richer flavor and makes the cake super moist! Regular milk won’t do the same. Trust the recipe!
Nah, not for me. Too sweet and sticky. Not a big fan of banana either.
I get that! Bananas can be super polarizing. Have you tried it with other fruits instead? Maybe apples or berries would work better for you!
Yummy! I loved the caramel! Definitely a keeper for family gatherings. Thxs for sharing!
I tried making this and it turned out a bit soggy. Maybe I added too much buttermilk?
Not sure if I liked it. The texture felt off, and I thought it needed more chocolate. But my kids gobbled it up.
This looks absolutely delicious! Can’t wait to try it out this weekend!
This cake was absolutely delicious! The caramelized bananas on top just made it heavenly. Definitely a keeper!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! The caramelized bananas really do take it to another level. What a brilliant idea to try this recipe!
It sounds good, but I’m not sure about the chocolate and bananas together. Seems like a weird combo to me.
Wow, never thought of putting bananas and chocolate together like this. Who knew?!
This is a cake?? More like a banana disaster for me. No offense! But it just didn’t work out. 🙁
Used margarine instead of butter, came out okay. Maybe a bit less sweet. Did anyone else try that?
I tried making this but ended up with burnt bananas… Whoops! Maybe I need to watch the oven more closely next time!

This cake is absolutely heavenly! The caramelized bananas on top are to die for!
I dunno, caramelized bananas? Sounds weird. What if they turn mushy? 🤔
Totally agree! The bananas make it so much better! I can’t wait to try making it myself!
What’s the deal with the bananas? I used a different fruit instead and it was gross. This recipe is misleading!
I tried it but something went wrong. The bananas were mushy and the cake was too dry. Not sure if I did it right.
So good! I didn’t have buttermilk, so I used regular milk and it still turned out great!
