Easy Banana Cake Recipe -easy one bowl banana cake, perfect for using up ripe bananas, with the a simple fluffy vanilla icing.

This easy banana cake recipe is one of my favourite go-to recipes. It’s so simple it only needs one bowl for the cake. It’s a no-fail recipe that turns out every time.
My mother-law uses this recipe to make an easy banana bread…because that’s what good, using up the left over bananas, responsible people do. But people who want life to be a party, they want to turn banana bread into CAKE! They want cake, covered in icing. They want Easy Banana Cake! And they shall have it.
You could easily make this recipe into a loaf, but the addition of a sweet fluffy vanilla icing makes this simple cake so much better and more special.

I have using this recipe for years,
I regularly buy bananas just to make double batches, it can easily be adapted with different ingredient, chocolate chips, cinnamon are favourites
It stays moist for days
Thanks Cheryl, so glad you like it, and thanks for taking the time for the lovely comment.

Can you use any kind of frosting?
Hi Pamela,
Yes, any kind of frosting you like, or no frosting if you’d like more of a banana loaf.
Dannyelle

Can i double the ingredients if i want to make big cake ?
Hi Sarah, I don’t see why you couldn’t double it for a larger cake. You might need to increase the cooking time a little too. Let us know how it goes if you do.
Best, Dannyelle
can I use coconut flour?
Hi Beth, I’ve never tried it with coconut flour, so I really don’t know if it will work. If you try it, let us know how it goes. Best of luck,

I absolutely love this recipe! I find it turns out better if you use brown sugar instead of white. So yummy!!! 🙂
Gracie, thanks so much. I’ll have to try it with brown sugar, thanks for the tip!

This has become a go-to recipe! I have Celiac and found substituting Pamela’s GF mix in lieu of flour works perfectly. I made it again this Sunday morning to use up bananas. Delicious and quick. Thank You for sharing!
Dana, thanks so much for the gluten free tip. So glad it’s a favourite recipe of yours too.

I tried this recipe and it ‘s very easy and quick to do and most of all it’s very delicious.Thanks
Hello, great and quick recipe, it was a hit with the family. Just wondering if I can make it into a loaf pan, do you know what the bake time would be if I can? Thank you!
Hi Nirvi, It works great as a loaf too. Bake for 50-60 min. at 350 -a toothpick stuck in the middle should come out clean when it’s done.
Enjoy!
