Moist Banana Bundt Cake / Bread With Orange Glaze image

According to my mother, this is the "best" banana cake. It is very moist and flavorful. Everyone had several slices. A good way to use up those old bananas. I did some pretty substantial revisions to a Recipezaar posting, Recipe #173929, so I chose to post my own.
