Banana Cake


 I am sharing the best banana cake recipe that I have been making again recently.  It started when my friend S brought over 3 overripe bananas by chance.  It is the secret to a good banana cake or bread in my opinion, it has to be overripe bananas.  The cake is so moist.  I don't bother with the cream cheese icing, save the extra calories.

That sounds so delicious but it says it takes 5 hours. I have everything except the buttermilk or I would fix it today.

Hell yea! If I can recommend, you can actually do this with a bit of left over coffee and cinnamon/nutmeg for a nice spice cake too. <3

Ignore the 5 hrs just a regular cake! Buttermilk is easy to make just mix a tbs of white vinegar with a c of milk stir and wait 5-7 mins till the milk 'sours'

I'm glad you don't have cream cheese icing on your banana bread - I really like it much better without any icing. And I agree on the overripe bananas.

This looks wonderful, Christine. I like that it has NO nuts in it. Most banana bread recipes I have add nuts. Thanks for this recipe, dear.

Banana cake! Yum! Hubby & I both love it. I make it quite often. I have a recipe for banana cake with one banana and I have one for 2 bananas (Same ingredients but adjusted) and in stead of butter I use the same weight in sunflower oil (In Europe we weigh everything). And I add some dark choc chips. Delicious!
Thanks for sharing,
Hugs,
Lisca
