15+ of the best banana cake recipes
From banana loaf to banoffee tart, we have the best banana cake recipes for you...
In the last year it seems everyone was baking banana bread. If you tried your hand at making a classic banana loaf and are looking to try something else, then we have plenty of banana cake recipes.
From a triple chocolate banana cake to one that swirls dollops of Nutella into the batter (and then drizzles some Nutella on top for good measure).
And if you want something that will freeze, we recommend our banana and chocolate muffins. You can bake them, and then stash them in the freezer for later.
