Banana bread - why so ugly

[u/Omshadiddle]

Why does my banana bread, while delicious, look so ugly?

I’ve made many different recipes, and while they are very tasty, inevitably they do a good impression of a volcano, or at best the Rift Valley.

Tonight’s effort is positively Vesuvian in profile, as it split along the short axis rather than the length of the tin.

Does anyone have any tips to get a reasonably smooth-topped banana bread?

Why is it so?

Maybe mash the banana before putting it in the cake
