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

Does this really taste good? I want to try making it for a class but it will be my first time, so i’m really nervous.

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
September 18th, 2008 at 6:01 am
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!

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?
November 11th, 2008 at 8:14 am
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.

Hi Piya
This banana cake recipe is one of my favorite recipes!
I got many comments from people saying it tastes great, so i guess it does work
If you have any question regarding the preperation of this bananacake recipe please feel free to ask.
November 25th, 2008 at 2:19 am
I like your recipe but I think the baking time is waaayy too long.
December 14th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
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
December 21st, 2008 at 8:28 pm
Can I use lime juice instead of lemon juice?
Thanks
December 23rd, 2008 at 5:35 pm
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.

This recipe sounds great and easy to make, but I have a couple of questions. What kind of flour do I have to use?
To Line a large baking dish with baking paper and pour in the soft mixture. What do you mean by this?

Hi im hassan and i was just wondering whether
it was okay to add chopped walnuts or something and thanks for the
recipe it’s great =]
January 17th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
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
