"The cupcakes are very moist, but I found the fudge pieces sunk to the bottom of the cakes. They do taste very nice and didn\'t take very long to make or be eaten. I made a short video of me making them which you can see here http://goo.gl/InasO"

"We found this recipe very easy to follow. The cakes came out really well. It works well with the fudge pieces and there\'s a strong taste of bananas - so make sure it\'s a fruit you like!"
