I have my own recipe, to which I add walnuts, It makes a difference. As regards the icing, I find if you put the butter and the cream cheese in the microwave for a few seconds (wattage determines) it helps whisk into a smooth mixture. Thanks Susan. I shall try this recipe next time i make a banana cake. (try the walnuts )
