It never fails and family just love it! Instead of making 1 i have to make 2 because it goes so quick. I add 2-3 more bananas to give it a extra kick of taste and moist - tastes even better. I also sometimes add chocolate chips - just devine!!!

Good things about this cake is its tastes yum, not too sweet or too strong a banana flavour. Also relatively easy to make for a novice like myself doing it with young children. The negatives for me is it doesn't raise very high so I would suggest baking 2 of these and them jamming together with a yummy filling and ice with a buttercream frosting instead of the basic icing recipe from here. Overall I'm happy and will probably use this cake recipe again so thank you for sharing., approved=true, user_name=MomOf3, hs_createdate=1702249858360, rating_new__1_5_=4, id=11175405206}, {comment_text=Absolutely love this cake, it's a winner in my place .Thank you Chelsea for this recipe, approved=true, user_name=1650996208, hs_createdate=1702249857999, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175627332}, {comment_text=Easy banana cake, approved=true, user_name=1477279879, hs_createdate=1702249857998, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175679609}, {comment_text=It's cool trust me I have a blue coloured ninja for a logo and it's about gaming, approved=true, user_name=Sub to on YouTube @Hot_DogYT, hs_createdate=1702249857667, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175475521}, {comment_text=4 stars because it didn't rise that well and stayed in a clump in the middle, but the taste was amazingly awesome!, approved=true, user_name=Molly Isabella, hs_createdate=1702249857566, rating_new__1_5_=4, id=11175419925}, {comment_text=Great recipe!

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C conventional / 160° fan bake. Grease a deep 20cm round cake tin and line the base with baking paper.

Beat butter and Chelsea Caster Sugar or Chelsea Organic Raw Sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in banana and vanilla essence until combined.
Mix baking soda and milk together before stirring into the banana mixture. Sift in flour and baking powder, then fold into the mixture until combined.
Spoon mixture into prepared tin and smooth the top. Bake for 40-50 minutes, until cooked (cake should spring back when lightly pressed on top, and a skewer inserted into the centre should come out clean).
Stand for 5-10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool. Ice with chocolate icing when cold.

Icing
Mix Chelsea Icing Sugar and cocoa powder together. Add butter, then stir in boiling water a little at a time, until icing is a spreadable consistency. Smooth over the top of the cake.
