That sounds like a *really* heavy cake, with all that sugar and
butter... and everything else, for that matter. I wonder if it collapsed
under its own weight.

The King Arthur Flour's Baker's Companion, by contrast, has the
following:

1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
1 cup mashed banana (2-3 very ripe, large bananas)
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 large eggs
2-2/3 cups unbleached AP flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 cup yogurt, buttermilk, or sour cream
