Best Banana Cake Recipe With Cream Cheese Frosting

March 24, 2020 108 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Best banana cake recipe – yes that’s what I decided to call this banana cake because this is hands down the best banana cake recipe I have ever come across, baked, and tasted. I tasted this banana cake for the first time when I was in Sydney. I have a colleague there who loves baking almost as much as I do and she bakes cakes for people in her team very often. She brought this banana cake and a flourless chocolate cake the day I landed. They were both divine.

Australians love their banana bread and banana cake. It’s a staple in all coffee shops – thick slabs of banana bread served toasted with salted butter. Ah, bliss.

The moment I had my first taste of this banana cake made by a colleague, I decided I not only want the recipe, but I want the book it came in as well. I asked her to bring it in the next day so I could jot down the recipe, and ordered it online the same day from Book Depository. Mix and Bake by Belinda Jeffery is a great one to own and bake from, you all!

I made it exactly the same way mentioned in the book the first time. It tasted wonderful – quite dense, sweet, deliciously banana-ey. The cream cheese frosting was the perfect indulgence along with the humble banana backing. The beauty of this cake is, it can be entirely made in a food processor so use yours if you have one.

I have an immersion hand blender that has a processor/chopper which worked perfectly. If not, you can just use your hand-help whisk or electric beater to bring the batter together. A blender may work well too.

The second time around, I decided to make it less sweet with no frosting, perfect for breakfast or to carry in a tiffin box to school, work, or a picnic.

Description

The best banana cake recipe ever, hands down!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup / 110gm plain flour
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 very ripe large banana (about 1/2 to 3/4 cups when mashed)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (regular white sugar)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter, at room temperature
  • 50ml sour cream (or buttermilk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 125 gm cream cheese, cut into chunks, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup / 4 tablespoons butter, cut into chunks, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup / 150gm icing sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F / 180C.
  2. Grease a 9″ cake pan. This size is actually for the recipe which I have halved here so you can only make a thin single layered cake if you use a 9″ pan. Try a smaller pan if you want to frost the cake in layers.
  3. Put the flour, baking powder, salt, and soda into the food processor and whiz them together for about 15-20 seconds.
  4. Tip into a bowl and set aside. If mixing by hand, just put everything into a bowl and blend together using a whisk or a fork.
  5. Chop the bananas into the food processor next and whiz into a pulp. Make sure the banana is really ripe. Again, you can do this step by hand using a fork or potato masher, in a separate bowl.
  6. Add the sugar and egg to the mashed banana and whiz for another minute.
  7. Then add the butter and whiz for another minute until the mixture is thick and creamy. (Cream together for about 5 mins if doing by hand).
  8. Next, add the sour cream (or buttermilk) and vanilla extract and whiz in quick pulses until just blended. Fold together if doing by hand.
  9. At this stage, you can either tip the flour mixture into the food processor or fold together in a separate bowl. My chopper bowl is not that big so I did this in a bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and fold until just blended. Don’t overdo the mixing part.
  10. Scoop into greased tray and smooth out the top layer evenly.
  11. Bake for about 40 mins or until the top turns golden brown and the cake passes the skewer test.
  12. Remove and let cool completely before frosting.

For the frosting

  1. Blend the cream cheese and butter together until smooth
  2. Add the icing sugar and vanilla and process again until completely smooth and creamy – about 3-5 minutes
  3. Refrigerate until needed. 
  4. Let the cake cool completely before frosting

Notes

  • I halved the recipe in the book to make one cake. You can double the measurements above to get a 9″ layered cake 
  • The frosting is optional, the cake is sweet and delicious enough on its own, in my opinion
  • The banana needs to be really ripe for best results – please see picture below

For Cream Cheese Frosting:

Whiz together all ingredients in the food processor for about a minute until well blended. Chill until needed to frost. You can mix by hand too, just make sure the butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature so that they blend well when mixing with hand.

When the cake is cool, layer on the frosting on all sides. Cut and serve. With sour cream, the cake turns out much much softer so try and use it instead of buttermilk, if you can. Yum.

    Hey! I baked 2 banana cakes using this recipe but with lesser sugar (1/2 cup once and 1/3 cup another time) and they turned out great! We preferred the 1/3 cup sugar recipe because my husband and I aren’t much of sweet-toothed people. Thanks a lot for sharing the recipe 🙂

    I was thinking of making a banana bread loaf using a standard sized loaf pan (9 * 5). Being a beginner in baking, I am little confused about the measurements and baking time. Should I double this recipe or keep the same to make the banana bread loaf? How many minutes should the cake be in the oven? Are there any ingredients that I should add or remove to make a bread loaf instead of cake?

    Thanks again for sharing the recipe, we love it at our home! And, Thanks in advance for your response!

    Hi there, Just tried the banana cake, it's still in the oven though.. But wanted to ask you, that my batter did not become thick and creamy as in the picture.. Instead it just curdled after I added the yogurt (substituted the sour cream)..

    I added butter and sugar to the mashed banana first, whisked and then added an egg later, whisked again, and the batter curdled 🙁 Cake's in the oven now and I have my fingers crossed.

      doubling the banana cake recipe should come out just fine. you will have to use a larger cake tray and use longer time for baking. or, maybe you can bake it as two cakes and use frosting to fill it up and loosely cover it?

    A friend of mine sent this link after RAVING about the Banana Cake. A work collegue had taken the cake to work and my friend declares it, "Truly the nicest moist, flavoursome cake I have ever tried."
    That's quie an endorsement. 🙂 So I'm going to bake a vegan version. I will use lemon juice to 'buttermilk' some soy milk, 60g silken tofu (or 1 tbsp flax meal blended with 3 tbsp water – not yet decided) to replace the egg and vegan margarine.
    Really looking forward to trying this. Thanks for posting the recipe for us. 🙂

      January 13, 2012 at 6:48 am

      it's not easy making buttermilk at home. traditionally you would extract butter from the cream (which is collected over day from boiled milk) and get buttermilk as a result. nowadays, the best option to make it at home is to just dilute thick curd/plain yogurt with equal amounts water.

    after trying out your marble cake, I tried the banana cake recipe of your.
    my family loved it though am not a big fan of bananas!!
    my kiddo liked it a lot.
    by the way what type of banana should we use for making banana cake. I tried nenthra pazham and some njali poovan pazham ( all of them were so black and finding their way to garbage.
    those bananas praise you for given them new life.
    Thanks so much dear !!!

    Nags, I have been making this from the day you posted it. It serves as my son's breakfast. Recently he told me that he wants it less sweet like bread. So yesterday I made it with 1/2 cup sugar and substituted butter with oil and it came out as a real good banana bread. My aunty said she substitute oil with apple sauce for banana bread, need to experiment that too.

    And….OH MY GOD, it is divine!I totally agree with your title for this cake. I also have never tasted a better banana cake – Period. To top it off, my extraordinarily fussy 3 year old(who never eats anything sweet, except good quality chocolate) came for a second helping! And all of a sudden, my otherwise glommy day seemed bright and cheerful! Hats off to your recipe – so effortless yet with fantabulous results!

    I am getting a lot of questions on substitutes for cream cheese or what can you use to replace cream cheese in frosting recipe. I feel hung yogurt will come closest in texture if not taste. It won't taste too sour if you use freshly made curd.

    Although its hard to substitute the flavour of cream cheese, you can try substituting the same amount with hung curd (hang about 1 litre curd overnight in a muslin cloth).

    OR

    You can try other frosting recipes like buttercream. This recipe has worked well for me: http://auntyyochana.blogspot.com/2006/10/butter-cream.html

    You can also try a peanut butter frosting, goes well with banana cake! Not sure what a bloggers' marathon is but all I can tell you is, this recipe works super duper well and the cake tastes awesome!! Its very simple to make too!

    Yeah you could try using the muffin setting. To be honest, I have never baked in a microwave so I don't know much about what settings to use to bake in a microwave. You can check the microwave manual too.

    Yes, you can replace plain yogurt or even buttermilk in place of sour cream.

    I make banana bread quite often but it doesnt turn out so good like ur pics.. i always use WW flour and its dense and sometimes dry. Tell me, can i use hung curd for cream cheese? i cant find it anywhere in Blr..

    hung curd would definitely work in terms of consistency but cream cheese has a very delightful flavour which will be missing. i am sure you can find some place where you get philadelphia cream cheese in bangalore. some specialty baking stores or duty free shops, maybe?

    microwave cakes require a different kind of recipe, since i don't really bake in the microwave, i am not sure how you can adapt this banana cake recipe to bake in microwave. does your microwave have convection baking?

    Nags,
    I visit your site frequently..I like the way you put across your thoughts along with the recipes…

    One question on this cake…We do not eat egg basically…Can we omit the egg? Or, is there any other alternative to it?

    Give me this without banana. I want all this prettiness too. The cake looks so soft -like a down pillow and I want to sleep on it.

    Yeah, you're right that Australians loves Banana bread. I often make it for hubby's office mates and they cherish every time of my creation. 🙂
