Want to freeze the iced cake? It is best to freeze the cake prior to icing. Wrap tightly in clingfilm and freeze for up to months. Iced cake will freeze ok too; however, the icing appearance and texture might not be quite as good after freezing.

Easy To Make Vegan!
This is a fantastic recipe! I made it vegan, which was very easy to do. It turned out really well! I usually halve the sugar in recipes, I did that with this one and it was still really sweet. I will always use this in the future.

Cake is tasty but came out very thin. I took it out at 40 minutes and it was a little over done.

Hi Chelsea,I attempted your banana cake recipe with great enthusiasm, eager to elevate its flavour profile with a striking twist by substituting the baking powder with organic pineapple root powder. To my dismay, the cake didn't rise as it should have. It's unfortunate that my attempt to enhance the flavour profile with pineapple didn't go as planned, and I can't help but wonder if the recipe might benefit from some adjustments. It might be a good idea for you to caution others about this potential issue, as it could potentially mislead other people who want to try your recipe.Regrets, Barbara Eaton-Rigoni
Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in banana and vanilla essence until combined.
Mix baking soda and milk together before stirring into the banana mixture. Sift in flour and baking powder, then fold into the mixture until combined.
Spoon mixture into prepared tin and smooth the top. Bake for 40-50 minutes, until cooked (cake should spring back when lightly pressed on top, and a skewer inserted into the centre should come out clean).
Stand for 5-10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool. Ice with chocolate icing when cold.
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.
Want to freeze the iced cake? It is best to freeze the cake prior to icing. Wrap tightly in clingfilm and freeze for up to months. Iced cake will freeze ok too; however, the icing appearance and texture might not be quite as good after freezing.
Frequently asked questions
How do I ensure my banana cake is moist?
- Make sure you use overripe bananas (these give a better flavour too
- Avoid over-mixing the batter.

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.
