"Tasty, but too much schmear. Baking time was way off. The recipe said to put some schmear on the bottom. Some? How much? And why would I want left overs of it? Reduce the schmear to 1/4 cup of each ingredient for a better outcome. I used an 8" square pan. Had I used less schmear it would have all fit nicely instead of butter and brown sugar oozing over the pan and making a mess (fortunately, I put the pan on a big cookie sheet to catch drips). I had to bake it over an hour. Oddly enough, the cake itself stayed intact eventhough it rose an inch or two over the edge of the pan. After it cooled a bit, the cake settled down to the height of the pan. The result was tasty. I'll likely make it again, but definitely with adjustments. I think the cake would be very good on it's own, with no schmear or banana slices at all!"
