this recipe is not altogether light and fluffy but...OMG, it's fantastic! just tried it a few days ago and it is spot on. I made it as a layered cake vs sheet...two 9" x 2" rounds.

This is so good, not at all like a banana bread, very moist

I think you will visit on cooks.com. You can easily find out the scratch banana cake recipe here. If you have sweat during cooking then please visit here.

I made a WONDERFUL banana cake this past weekend!!! Not heavy or dense. But, light and moist. Perfect for an old fashioned banana caramel layer cake. I finally perfected my caramel. It is soft and melts in your mouth and has not one single sugar crystal in it. Smooth and silky and not crunchy like a good caramel cake should have. With all the depth of flavor one could ask.
I only had 1 cup of sugar so I subbed 1/2 light brown sugar. Instead of AP flour I used cake flour(which I always do) and I added 1/2 tsp of baking powder.
