125g butter, softened
¾ cup Chelsea Caster Sugar or Chelsea Organic Raw Sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed banana (about 2 large
bananas)
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 Tbsp hot milk
1¾ cup plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
Icing:
1½ cups Chelsea Chocolate Icing
1 Tbsp butter (softened)
1-2 Tbsp Boiling water
Pre-heat oven to 180°C conventional (160° fan bake). Grease a deep 20cm round cake tin and line the base with baking paper.
Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in bananas and vanilla essence until combined.
Mix baking soda and milk together before stirring into the banana mixture. Sift in flour and baking powder, fold into the mixture until combined.
Spoon mixture into prepared tin and smooth the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes until cooked (insert a clean skewer, if it comes out clean it is cooked). Stand for 5-10 mins before inverting onto a wire rack to cool. Ice with chocolate icing when cold.
Icing: Mix Chocolate Icing Sugar, butter and 1 Tbsp boiling water at a time until combined, adding more hot water until icing is a spreadable consistency. Smooth over the top of the cake.
These banana cakes were the nicest things I had eaten in a long time. Jeez!! I recommend this to everyone especially my whanau! Thanx Chelsea.
This recipe was a hit for my birthday! The only thing I would change would be less baking time, but I love this recipe.
Amaaaaazing cake recipe! My oven is too hot so I had to bake it for only half an hour on 150 degrees (according to my oven dial lol). Soooo moist and delish!!!!
I love this recipe for men it works so well and my mum and dad loved it so much.
The best banana cake ever. I am trying it for the second time today. The first time I made it, there were a lot of praises. People thought I ordered it from a bakery. Love the recipe. Its simple and accurate.
Fantastic...BUT.....I only watched the video after I made the cake and then saw there was a note at the very end about 160 degrees for fan forced!! I was winging the time so my only note for this most mighty cake would be to note that in the written recipe for those like myself that don't watch too many videos!!
CHELSEA: thanks for your feedback - we have updated the recipe accordingly :-)
Excellent so light with great rise from the bicarbonate. Made 3 round 8 inch cakes which baked for 30 minutes from double amount of recipe.
Beautifully delicious
I make this a LOT (husband keeps buying bananas then leaving them to go bad.. sneaky bugger). Makes a lovely yummy banana cake.
Yum! Just so yum and so simple to make!
Easy banana cake
I tried to make the cake in a soccer ball tin which needed me to double the recipe. This was a request from a client. The cake just never cooked in the centre. The longer I left it in the oven the top just started crisping and the inner remained raw. I am very puzzled by this. When I use the recipe in a normal tin it is perfect. Can you help?
CHELSEA: sorry to hear that. As you know the recipe works in a smaller tin, try baking it in two tins, and forming the soccer ball shape after baking. Good luck!
Am not much of a baker ...this recipe was easy and the best part was that the cake was great! Best Banana cake ever! thanks :-)
Scrumptious
So moist yummy. Love it it's a favourite in our house hold..
Yummy!
This is my classic go-to banana cake. Always good, especially with chocolate icing.
I used this recipe for my first ever banana cake and turned out great! Real moist and great with the chocolate icing. I will be making this again.
This cake turned out really great, I like that it uses caster sugar makes a lovely texture
This is one of the best Banana Cake recipes I have tried and will certainly be making it again.
I have made this cake 5 times now and it has turned out perfectly every time. Delicious, moist, and easy to make. Looks just like the picture and my family LOVE it.
