    Love Banana Cake? Well you’re in luck as this is the BEST Fluffy Banana Cake recipe out there – I promise!! Both regular and Thermomix instructions included.

    How to make the best Fluffy Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting - both regular and Thermomix instructions included.

    Thanks to the oversupply of bananas we discovered ourselves with recently, I decided to pop a few aside for baking.  It’s been a long time since I last made a banana cake or banana bread recipe, primarily because we are always running out thanks to our two banana loving cheeky monkeys and I’d been wanting to make Mum’s Fluffy Banana Cake recipe for the past couple of weeks.

    Fluffy Banana Cake

    I decided to use a ring tin to bake this cake in as not only does it cut down the cooking time, but I think it makes any cake look that little bit more fancy.  Be warned this makes a BIG cake, so if your tin is on the small side, it’s a good idea to spread it across two tins, or even make a batch of muffins too.

    As usual, I couldn’t help but play around a little with the recipe and instead of icing it with a simple vanilla frosting, I decided a cake as delicious and grand as this one deserved to be topped with a rich Cream Cheese Frosting – yum!

    Tips for making my Fluffy Banana Cake recipe:

    • You can bake this cake in a variety of different baking tins, just be aware the cooking time will vary. For example when I bake this recipe in a lamington tin, it takes around 35 minutes to cook.
    • This mixture makes a very large cake, if your tin has shallow sides, it’s probably best to split in into two cake tins to avoid it overflowing.
    • You can also use frozen bananas for this recipe, just bring them to room temperature before mashing.
    • This recipe is freezer friendly.

    You can find the recipe I used for rich cream cheese frosting here.

    You can also find the Thermomix version of the Cream Cheese Frosting here.

    This fluffy banana cake was also a hit with the boys, although I think they would have been happy to just sit down with a big bowl of the cream cheese frosting if I had of let them!

    What food items are you constantly running out of?
    Are your kids crazy for bananas too?

      I’m totally addict to banana bakery thing. Just tell me, why fluffy? It seems really smooth, is that why? My banana cakes are always a bit heavy (can’t find the right word)… xx cathy

      This would not last 10 seconds in our house! We’re big banana fans so I’ll be giving this recipe a go. I’m not a fan of icing but cream cheese frosting is a whole different story 🙂
