Banana Cake from Banana Bread Mix

[drshi]

Looking for a thick, moist banana cake like I always made my sister make when I was young. Can't figure out why virtually everyone seems compelled to add nuts nowadays (I want more bananas!), and why cooks want to use every boxed mix but the obvious one -- banana bread! Could someone tell me how to make a supermoist banana cake from banana bread mix? I'm no Duncan Hines (though neither was he for that matter; and my sister was no Betty Crocker, either). I just long for a supermoist banana cake with a minimal amount of effort; and though modern mixes make it foolish to bake from scratch, I can't seem to find one for supermoist banana-banana-and-only-banana cake -- and icing? -- f'geddaboudit ... unless it's banana.

Have you tried it with a yellow cake mix with pudding and then adding you own banana's? That might do the trick for you. As for the icing, I think you could take vanilla icing and add mashed banana's or banana flavoring and/or vanilla. This is just a thought, but it may work. And if it does not work, you may just have to " f'geddabouit". Good luck

Thanks for the suggestion. How Many bananas d'you think I should try? Fifteen, twenty?
