Isn’t a fabulous book! I’ve already bookmarked so many recipes to try! I love the mold you used!

Oh, goodness this looks unbelievable.

As in really good, good!!!

I got that book for Christmas, but I’ve not had the time to get into it yet. Soon, hopefully! That bread looks delicious, and I love the pan!

This looks SO good. The banana and caramel together sound good.

Oh my. That looks absolutely amazing! If it’s possible to gain 5 lbs by looking at a picture, I just did

A great combination and so very perfect!

banana and caramel, the biggest winner!

Ooh, bananas and caramel, very nice combination!

bellissimo sito,peccato che non ci sia la versione in italiano.il mio inglese non basta per capire le ricette:(
ciao

Oh dear I think I might fall in love with a book like that - the title is enough!

Wow mgnificent thanks for the recipe and I cant wait for your review with recipes like this it will be at the top of my list to buy.

Ivonne,
This cake is a vision!

I should try it… I still have banana in my freezer begging to be used.

Caramel and chocolate and bananas… What a wonderful combo!

that book just came in the mail the other day. now i really can’t wait to dive in!

Wow, this sounds delectable! I’m a lover of banana bread in it’s most basic form, so anything beyond that would definitely be, well, icing on the cake… so to speak.

And you’ve got the perfect pan for it and everything! It sounds delicious.

Sooo beautiful, I have some ripe bananas here… hum… what a neat idea!!! Maybe for the weekend!

I’m not a fan of “banana flavour” but I must admit this recipe is inviting…thanks for sharing, as usual!

Looks like all I need is the pan, a fork, and the couch! No need to get down with fancy plating with this one. Looks fantastic!

I think that I could also fall in love with this book.

Wow….can’t wait to see what else is up your sleeve!

Chocolate factory is near us and gives an icredible tour. They also have a cool virtual tour on their website.

For a second there I was getting pretty jealous!

This lovely cake could be on a heart shape only !

Beautiful cake! And I love the heart pan.

Well that looks like something I could eat a few pounds worth.

It looks unbelievably good!

I think I can fall in love with a cookbook, too.

I want the pan and the cake. And yes, I understand cookbook love.

Mmmmm, delicious sugar coma! This sounds incredibly good! I love the idea of letting the caramel soak into the cake, nut just sitting on top as a glaze. I have to try this!

That cake looks incredible! I love banana cake, but this one looks to be off the charts! And I love your pan too…so adorable

That is definitely a Yum Yum! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Sooo delicious and what great photos and writing, as always.

Yes, love can happen with almost anything, including cookbooks.

I just love the book, and I’ve made a couple of recipes from it already like the cupcakes and the baked hot chocolate. The pictures are simply out of this world too!

Hello my dear!

Good for you for falling in love with *this* book–shows you have impeccable taste…

What a beautiful crust- that alone could sell the book! And I have 3 ripe bananas on the shelf, who knows by the end of tomorrow, I may be in love too!

Puff, you’re incorrigible!
Is it really as good as it looks! Oh my.

You had me going there…as your post loaded onto my newsreader, I thought to myself, “Yeah! I’ll be seeing a pic of Ivonne’s new hunk!” Ok, Russell Crowe this is not, but me loves banana cake anyway!

Wow. Pure decadence….and I don’t even like bananas! Great to see such an awesome bloggin’ Canuck!

It looks like it’s unanimous! Everyone loves that cake. And I would love to see that cookbook-sounds fabulous.

I know - this book is awesome! It’s all I can do not to bake from it every weekend (which, of course, would make my other baking books jealous.)

Beautiful photo, you could put it on a postcard.

It’s been one of “those cold, winter weeks” where I’m seeking comfort food, cozy bed covers and mugs of steaming coffee, a thick novel and this, a comfort-me-baking recipe. Well, if you need me, you know where to find me… in the kitchen baking this or under the covers eating it… alone! (I’m not sharing) I can smell the spices baking right now. Yum.

Just beautiful!

Ivonne, I’m curious as to how you approach a book review. How many of the recipes do you try? What, in addition to the recipes, stands out? And so on…

I just checked that book out from the library and all I have to say is Oh…..My……
I am seriously considering buying it.

ilike your heart cake pan. where you did get if from?

we would like to see more recipes from this book.

I happened to have three over-ripe bananas, so off to the kitchen I went this weekend - fabulous cake, even if I did replace the pecans by cashews (which were also hanging around)! This will definitely go down in my - hand-written - book of tried and approved recipes! Thank you for sharing it!

Oooh, I know what I’m baking today.

Thanks!

i tried this recipe with walnuts instead of pecans. the cake was moist, but i didn’t really like it as i thought there was too much going on with the nuts, banana, chocolate and caramel.

This is making my mouth water just looking at it Have to try it out myself, can I be a pain and ask if anyone would know how to convert the cup measurements to English weights and measures?? Ta very much in advance

Here’s how to make delicious chocolate covered strawberries. First of all ensure that the strawberries you are intending

to use are dry, then allow them to be room temperature warm prior to making them. After the strawberries have been

covered in chocolate, put them in your refrigerator to cool, but do not store them in the fridge. Consume within 1-2

days.

Looks incredible. I have three very rupe bananas sitting on my counter that are begging to be used. I think I found the recipe! I’ll let you know how it goes.
