Thoughts

It is one of the fluffier banana cake/ bread amongst the ones that I have made. I did test with a toothpick every 5 minutes after the 30 minute mark as I was using a square pan. Bake longer if necessary but cover with a foil if the top is getting too dark. Mine developed a crack and a crust but I was ok with it.
