Spongy Banana Cake

Spongy Banana Cake

This is a very spongy, light and fluffy banana cake which is much lighter than butter cake. Furthermore this recipe don't need egg separation, just using simple sponge cake method. This is a recipe that I going to make again and again.

    From the picture, the cake looks soft, fluffy and not oil. I have also book-marked this when I saw it at Wen's blog.

    The texture of youyr cake is so so so nice, you make me feel like making this cake straightaway.

    I'd like to check with you the siciian orange cake you made earlier, is the cake overly sweet with 200g of sugar?

    Wishing you Happy Mother's Day in advance!

    Sonia, use Pisang Raja and your banana cake will be even more flavorful and the fragance emitted from the baking is out of this world. Whenever I get hold of Pisang Raja, I will bake banana cake. It is mine and Nick's favorite. Unfortunately it is very hard to get Pisang Raja. Try using some sour cream to make the cake even more light and fluffy.

    what is the difference between baking powder and baking soda? is it the vanilla Rum that makes it spongy?

    Hi Sonia, I made this but not so successful. The cake rise more at the sides and sinks at the centre and falls apart when cut it. Do I need to worry about over mixing when folding in the flour to the beaten eggs? I find the flour not dissolved completely too. And the mixture losing it's air bubbles as I tried to mix it evenly. Please enlighten me.

    Hi Sonia,

    I was looking for a random banana cake receipi in the internet and yours popped out.

    I tried it last night but was generous with the bananas. I've added 4 big size of very ripe pisang berangan- mashed with fork. I didn't weight it but it was definitely more than the recommended 200g.

    The cake turned out as spongy as you said it would be. I like it because it is not so sweet (even with the extra ripe bananas) and oily, just the right balance. I will keep this receipi and recommend to friends! Thank you for sharing.

    Have a good day to you and family.

    Jenny
