Ingredients

Units Scale

Banana Cake:

  • 2 cups self-raising flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup (115 g) butter, softened
  • 1 cup castor sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk, plus a little more if needed
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate soda

Cream Cheese Icing:

  • 40 g butter, softened
  • 60 g cream cheese
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • Chopped walnuts for the top of the icing

Instructions

Banana Cake:

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (fan-forced).
  • Grease and line, a standard round cake tin with baking paper and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl mash together the bananas with a fork until smooth, set aside.
  • In another mixing bowl sift the flour, salt and bicarb soda, set aside.
  • In a stand mixer add butter and sugar, then cream together at a high speed until smooth (approximately a few minutes).
  • Turn the mixer down to low speed, gradually add eggs one at a time, mix well and add bananas in gradually.
  • At a low speed add flour and milk alternately, a third at a time, until mixed through.
  • Pour into a prepared cake tin and bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. This may need a little longer depending on each oven.
  • Once cooked, take it out of the oven, flip out onto a cake cooling rack, and cool.

Cream Cheese Icing:

  • In a bowl sift the icing sugar, set it aside.
  • In an electric mixer add cream cheese and vanilla and beat until smooth.
  • Add butter and mix for a couple of minutes.
  • Add sifted icing sugar and continue beating until smooth.
  • Spread the icing on top of the cooled cake and sprinkle on some chopped walnuts. Enjoy!!!

Notes

Icing: If you’re finding the icing is too thick, add a little dash of milk and continue beating until you have the desired consistency.
