About Banana Cake Recipe

Banana cake recipe is made with basic ingredients like banana, sugar, oil, flour. The cake itself turned out super fluffy and moist. The batter will come together in under 5 mins and the cake will be baked in less than 40 mins. 

I am surprised, how perfect these blender cakes turn out with minimum effort. This banana cake is not an exception, all you need is to add all the ingredients except flour in the blender to make it into a creamy mix.

I have tried adding the flour into the blender before, but I found out, the batter is hard to get out once flour is added. Most batter ends up in the blender. So I pour the blended puree over flour and fold to make batter.

This cake is one of the simplest cake recipe you can make. Even kids can bake this cake. Also don't miss to check out my orange blender cake recipe.

Preheat oven to 180 degree C (360 degree F). Line a 5 inch round cake pan with parchment paper. Grease the sides with oil and set aside.

Blending Wet Ingredients

1)For making banana cake, one main ingredient is bananas. Use ripe bananas, the riper the banana, more taste the cake gets.

We are going to make the wet ingredients in a blender. So add banans in a blender jar.

2)Now add in granulated sugar to the blender. You can use brown sugar also.

3)Now for making the cake moist, you need to add oil or melted butter. I prefer using oil.

4)Add in eggs. Room temperature extra large eggs are used.

5)Add in both baking soda and baking powder into the blender jar itself.

6)This is optional, if you like cinnamon flavour, add some ground cinnamon into the blender. You can try adding different spices too.

7)Now that everything is added into the blender. We are going to blend this for 45 seconds to 1 minute. It will blend and combine all ingredients and gives you a smooth creamy slightly frothy puree.

Make Cake Batter

8)Now take plain flour in a bowl, you can use whole wheat flour for healthy alternative. Pour the blended banana mix into the flour.

9)Now use a spatula to gently fold the batter until it is just combined. Don't over mix the batter, fold gently.

At this point you can add in chopped nuts, chocolate chips to the batter also.

Baking Banana Cake

10)Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle top with pumpkin seeds. You can use any nuts for topping. Place this into the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

11)To check whether the cake is baked or not, insert a tooth pick in the centre of the cake. If it comes out clean, then the cake is baked. Remove from oven, cool completely before un moulding the cake.

Slice and serve.
