I decided to bake a cake and take it to my brother's for supper. However, they had visitors, so I decided to slice into the cake for the taste test! You don't want to give away anything substandard do you? I think that as I am not a cake baker (being a family of one human and two pets) that having a sample was a good thing. The cake was very moist and it baked evenly, (even on the second day it was as good as the first). My only comment is that the picture appeared to be a larger looking slice, than what I served up. However, with that said, the cake was delicious and if I ever have two ripe bananas again, I will certainly make it again! The balance of the cake was delivered and was enjoyed the following day for morning tea. I note that I did not use the chocolate icing recipe as detailed with this recipe however, I did use the recipe using plain icing sugar, butter and cocoa powder and although it says that it has not been tested by the Chelsea Kitchen, it worked a real treat. So thank you for having a banana cake recipe for only two bananas with a separate chocolate icing recipe so that I didn't have to go and buy a separate bag of icing sugar. Put the two together and indeed it was a very tasty morsel. Although I was a wee bit embarrased to deliver a cake with a slice removed - that in itself brought about much laughter when I explained that I had a piece to test the cake and then another small piece was eaten for our brother who lives in England. I rate this recipe four stars and I certainly would make it again without any hesitation., approved=true, user_name=Unknown, hs_createdate=1702249871424, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175470002}]}I'm about to make this and see in the reviews the Chelsea chocolate icing is no longer available- what do you use instead please and how much?

Beat butter and Chelsea Caster Sugar or Chelsea Organic Raw Sugar until light and fluffy.
Icing
Mix Chelsea Icing Sugar and cocoa powder together. Add butter, then stir in boiling water a little at a time, until icing is a spreadable consistency. Smooth over the top of the cake.
- Make sure you use overripe bananas (these give a better flavour too - Avoid over-mixing the batter. - Monitor the cake carefully towards the end of the cooking time (when cooked, a skewer inserted into the centre should come out with just a few moist crumbs). - Transfer from the tin to a wire cooling rack 10-15 minutes after removing the cake from the oven.
We recommend using our Egg and Dairy Free Banana Cake Recipe.
Yes! Thaw, then drain off any excess liquid before mashing and adding to the batter.
You can use this recipe to make 12 cupcakes. Fill the cupcake liners two thirds full and bake for approximately 20 minutes.
