This recipe turned out easy and delicious - especially straight out of the oven! I found it on <a href="http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/banana-cinnamon-muffins/479aaf26-88aa-47f2-a5c0-3f4448ecdfd4">Betty Crocker's </a>website, and it's truly a dream of a recipe to follow. I didn't follow the suggested topping part, however - instead, making lemon icing which compliments the sweet cake perfectly, and goes with it surprisingly well.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This recipe was very much a 'rough-and-ready' one - it was thrown together in a matter of minutes, and you could easily make these in half an hour with a little practise (not accounting for cooling or setting time). The 'flaws', such as the harder top and the pieces of mushed banana, add up to make the cake delicious - perfection isn't the point with this recipe, I don't think. </span></div>
