  • Line a large baking dish with baking paper and pour in the soft mixture
  • Smooth the top and bake for 50 – 60 minutes until light golden brown
    (to make sure it’s ready, insert a skewer into the mixture and make sure it comes out clean and dry)

    How much is 200gr butter? does it make a difference if the bananas are very ripe? you say yellow bananas? Thank you.

    Hi Dee

    200 gr are 7 ounces

    As for the bananas, the riper the banana the tastier the cake :-)

    Hi Vicky
    Although it’s not a complicated cake and none of the ingredients is too pretentious, it’s actually one of the cakes I like best.
    I got mails from several readers, all said they just loved it, so I believe you have nothing to worry about.

    Don’t get nervous, cooking is fun, and your classmates will be asking for an encore

    Happy Cooking, let me know if you need any further information

    Hi,

    I would like to know if the butter could be substituted with vegetable oil and if it would makes a difference in how the cake will taste? thanks

  7. 7 On September 18th, 2008, TheCookDuke said:

    Hi Diana

    The butter could be substituted with vegetable oil without making a significant change on the cake’s taste.
    If you tasted two cakes on the same time, one with butter and one with vegetable oil you’ll probably feel the different, but without an immediate comparison, the banana cake recipe can be done using veg oil and still taste great!

    Happy Cooking :-)

    I’m going to try it tonight. Sounds easy enough.. can you just tell me one thing – have you tried this with fondant? I was thinking of making this for my kid’s birthday with something fun on it. I just want to make sure it wont be too light and hold up the fondant properly,… any thoughts?

  12. 12 On November 11th, 2008, TheCookDuke said:

    Hi Ayelet

    Sorry for the late response.
    Did you try to use fondant on your banana cake?
    I think the cake is not firm enough to support the fondant so I wouldn’t use a fondant to cover it.
    You can use a fondant to prepare some decorations for the cake, but it’s not the best cake to use fondant on.
    I believe you’ve managed to make the best cake for your kid’s birthday, if you sent me pictures of the cake I’d be happy to present it on my site.

    Happy Cooking :-)

    When is the best time for cake? Why anytime, of course. I love ice cream cake, and cookies and cream cake, and especially any type of chocolate cakes. Cakes are appropriate for any and all occasions big and small

    Hi Wali
    Lime juice is great as well.
    When you don’t have all the recommended ingredients, whether it’s for this banana cake recipe or any other, improvisation is the way to go and you can find yourself with the best results

    Hi Jane (comment 15)
    I didn’t notice any problem with the baking time in this banana cake recipe.
    The actual temperature can very between ovens and it might cause the difference.
    Anyway, the only important thing is that you like the result and the taste of the banana cake.

    Hi Hassan
    It’s ok to add chopped walnuts to this banana cake recipe, although I think it’s best to keep it as it is.
    I’m always in favor of changing ecipes and add your own touch, but as I like this recipe so much, I think you should try this recipe as it is first

    hi i just made a banana cake with your recipe and it tasted great! I halved the portion for a smaller cake since i only had 2 over-ripe bananas. Also, i did not like it too sweet so i cut down on the sugar and not having any lemon juice, i replaced with store bought orange juice instead. The result was a success after 3 failed attempts at baking banana cake using some other recipes:)
    Thank you so much for sharing!
