Hello there:

Have you had any luck finding the original Woolworths Banana nut roll cake recipe 
from the 1960's yet?

Hello Donna,

There is no recipe for Woolworth's banana nut roll in the Woolworth's recipe collection that I have, nor can I find such a recipe on the Internet.

The nostalgia posts that I find on the Internet are a bit confusing because some are for a "banana roll" and some are for a "banana nut roll."

I have a recipe for "Woolworth's Banana Roll" here: 4-7-2008, but there are no nuts in it.

There is a very similar recipe here: dundas-raine, This one has no nuts in the cake, but it has ground walnuts in the frosting.

I found an old Woolworth's newspaper ad that mentions "banana nut roll," so perhaps they sold both.

I'll post this for reader input.
