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.

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

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.
- 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.
Can I make this Banana Cake without eggs?
We recommend using our Egg and Dairy Free Banana Cake Recipe.
Can I use frozen bananas in Banana Cake?
Yes! Thaw, then drain off any excess liquid before mashing and adding to the batter.
Can I make this Banana Cake recipe into Cupcakes instead?
You can use this recipe to make 12 cupcakes. Fill the cupcake liners two thirds full and bake for approximately 20 minutes.
I made it and my whole family loved it and so did I!
