This Banana Cake recipe means the world to me! It was a recipe that my Granny and I use to make when I was a little girl and I have very fond memories of helping her in the kitchen making this recipe together. I know there are a billion banana cake recipes around but today I’m sharing my special Granny’s Delicious Banana Cake with you.
Granny’s Delicious Banana Cake
My Granny’s Delicious Banana Cake
Ingredients:
- 2 tblsp Butter
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 1/2 cup Plain Flour
- 3 Mashed Bananas
- 1 tsp Bi Carb Soda
- 1 tsp Baking Powder – Make sure you pass through a sifter to remove any lumps.
- 2 tblsp Milk
Handy hints:
- Make sure your banana’s are very over ripe! They have so much more flavor when making using them in cooking. I leave mine until the skin is black.
- Make sure you pass the Baking Powder and the Bi Carb Soda through a sifter to remove any lumps.
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Oil Spray and line your cake tin with baking paper. I used a 20 cm round cake tin.
- Cream the butter and the sugar together using your electric beater until light and fluffy.
- Add the beaten egg. Mix until combined.
- Add banana 1/3 at a time mixing until combined.
- Add dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Mix in milk.
- Place cake mix into the cake tin and bake for 35 – 40 minutes.
- Prod the centre of the cake at 35 minutes and if still not cooked cover cake with foil and cook for a further 5 minutes.
Now its time to put the kettle on and sit down and enjoy!
Happy Baking!

Oh how nice Sam! Those memories are the BEST, and you can pass that recipe on to your kids! My grandma used to be a great baker and made lovely cakes, I wish I had half her skills, lol! We love banana cake and I think it’s a great way to use up those ripe bananas no one will eat otherwise. Last time I made a banana cake it turned out super dry…not sure what went wrong. But now I’ll make your granny’s cake, it looks delicious and not dry at all! Thanks so much for stopping by and linking up at Sweet Inspiration #2 friend!! Have a lovely Sunday!
Just letting you know, that I’ll feature your yummy banana cake at tomorrows Sweet Inspiration Linky!
Awwwwwww thank you so much Katrin! I’m sure my Granny would be over the moon!!! Thank you 🙂 xx
Sam this looks so yummy. Would you believe that in all my years, and they are plenty, I have never made a banana cake? Is it because the kids always grab the bananas and eat them before they get ripe? Maybe. But now that most of them have left the house maybe, just maybe, I’ll be able to try out this recipe of yours. And you know granny’s recipes are always the best! Thanks for joining us at Sweet Inspiration.
Hahahaha Yes I bet that’s it Mary! At least they are/ have been eating their fruit!!! I do hope you enjoy my Granny’s recipe as much as my family has, when you get to try it!! 🙂
