Default Help!... Would this simple recipe work?

I was given a recipe a year ago by someone for a totally wonderful banana cake, gooey and tasty.

But i was just about to make it this weekend and noticed that it doesn't contain flour, so I'm curious if the girl who gave me the recipe missed it off, or does the breadcrumbs become the flour substitute?

Do you think it would work??

(I'm not the best cook in the world, so not fully clued up on they way of cooking things)
:-)

it's:
Gooey Banana Cake
Preparation time 15 mins
Cooking time 1 hour
Oven temp 170°C

2lb loaf tin
5-6 ripe bananas
3 eggs
2 cups breadcrumbs
1 cup molasses or dark brown sugar
A swirl of honey + tablespoon of baking powder
˝ cup of oil (NOT olive. Ground nut is good)
Cinnamon and nutmeg to taste
Granola or seeds or nuts to sprinkle on top

*Mix the eggs and oil.

*Break up bananas with hands into the mixture and mix/whisk/blend until smooth-ish.

*Chuck the rest in. Mix it all up.

*Tip into loaf tin (greased), sprinkle on stuff (nuts/seeds etc).

*Bake at 170°C in the middle of the oven for 1 hour.

Yes it will work. You are making a banana bread pudding.

Wow, this is one gooey, but tasty cake.

I took the advice, and just made it. It was very simple, but it came with great results.

Usually banana cake is hard and not too bannana-ry in flavour, but this one is wonderful.. Packed full of banana flavour, and like presumed, it's quite gooey, quite far removed from a usual spongey-cake.

A winner in my eyes. Will anyone else going to give it a go?
