No body does a cooking show better than John. It's no wonder he has so many viewers. He is as fabulous as his recipes.

[@KatiaBennett-jj1sl]

We'll said ❤️

[@kl8858]

Love to hear all the comments about specific ingredients, measurements, substitutions, etc. A video on salt would be fantabulous!!

[@myshinobi1987]

You can make banana essence by placing the skins of bananas in a jar with sugar for a couple of weeks. They eventually break down and release their strong banana flavour into the sugar as a syrup. You could use this in the icing.

[@artboxfashion4042]

And ferment them into alcohol.....😂

I love how you explain the science of cooking and your recipes look divine I feel like I can cook like a pro.

[@cynthiag3065]

OMG- the beater height adjustment tip was awesome. 🤩 Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@2Consumed]

'Yes' to the salt vid

[@jazz6711]

I never knew about baking a green banana would make it perfect for banana cake. Thanks! 😄

[@amyelizabeth9088]

Instead of frosting, I thinly slice a little firmer 🍌 banana 🍌 and brown sugar with a very thin slice of butter in a sauce pan to glaze the bananas and then I place the caramelized thin sliced 🍌 banana 🍌 on the top of the #bananacake for decoration with a little bit of drizzle from the caramelizes sauce on top.

[@judithwilson1814]

Ooo-la-la!

[@miana_05]

i just made this recipe a few weeks ago! It was actually really delicious for how simple the recipe was. I wanted to make something with my old bananas other than... muffins. this was perfect!! :)

[@MiasMenu]

Ooh that sounds nice! ❤😊

[@tammybozza4703]

I’d love to see a salt video, John!

[@gerardjohnson2106]

To adjust the mixer bowl to the paddle attachment, put a dime in the bowl and 'using the screw' bring the paddle down until it just barely starts to move the dime around the bottom of the bowl. Done.

[@wrendellajoens3984]

Thank you for the specifics on this adjustment! No guesswork means more baking, & I sincerely appreciate your input. Be well!

[@deborahpasha9727]

Is that for all stand mixers or just the Kitchen Aid?

[@2901nc]

You are an excellent presenter who also educates (all in 11 minutes!)👏👏

[@glendaharding4884]

Salt video, absolutely!

[@ritaschultz6859]

My daughter loves ❤️ banana cake thank you preppy

[@wrendellajoens3984]

Thank you for sharing! I have found myself saving many of your recipes to make with or for my three nieces (ages 7, 8, & 8.5), & this one definitely made the list. The youngest will happily mash the 'nanners (her word, not mine), while the oldest will be intrigued with the responsibility of measuring with the scale, & the middle one (the bossy one) will hog mixer duty as long as possible. This is going to be fun!!!

[@denadellafortuna2610]

It is a perfect cake ❤ thank you John. I made it for a family dinner. I substituted Spelt flour as I eat low gluten. When using spelt flour I also add xanthum gum, 1 tsp for each cup of spelt flour. I added a few drops of high quality Lemon essential oil, to both the cake and two drops into the frosting. I added a little lemon zest to the top.

[@JamesTony1]

Why is everything in America so sweet? = I LOVE IT! ❤😍

[@gemmacuevas2798]

Delicioso😋🎂 Oh my God! I just loooove the way you explain, and all of the valuable tips you share🙏 I will definitely going to make it!! 🍌

[@michellemccann2701]

I glad you like it❤❤❤

[@ladybird3518]

I would love a salt video🤟🏻💖

[@megdonnelly8519]

Im making this i hope it tastes like the old sara lee bananna cake..i loved that

[@SwedishCowgirl7]

Yes I grew up loving that Sara Lee Banana Cake!❤

[@sammansfield21]

I made a banana cake the other day....chucked some chocolate chucks in there. I was given the bananas in a food parcel, but can't stand bananas....but hate food waste....so tried the recipe with a few tweeks....OMG it was amazing ❤

[@jessicaharris1608]

Banana cake is literally the only way I will eat bananas. My grandmother had a similar recipe to this minus the frosting, so I wonder if this would be better.

[@sammansfield21]

@jessicaharris1608 frosting makes everything better lol

[@nine_manika]

a salt video would actually be really helpful! :D

[@rickm5271]

Hi John, yes please to the salt video. I love all of your videos and your thoughts on salts would be valued.

[@glorialacock5135]

I just made this, for dessert after our family BBQ. It’s amazing!!!!! I made vegan frosting with coconut milk, and added Amarula cream (South African liqueur) to my frosting. Absolutely FANTASTIC! ❤❤❤

[@renanschimuneck9369]

Please make the video explaining the salt differences!

[@cookiejones]

Yes please salt video…I have 3 kinds and would like a lesson when to use each one… 💝

[@Cathiefromcanada]

I often add about 2 or 3 Tablespoons of a good orange marmalade to my banana cakes (cutting back somewhat on some other liquid elsewhere in the recipe.) The orange flavour gives it a good tang.

[@susanpacheco8582]

This looks spectacular!

[@brendarose3941]

Yummy! Please do a video on salt. There are videos but I don’t know if I can trust them. I would hate to use the wrong salt and ruin a recipe. I can trust you. I am a new subscriber today July 4, 2024. I made a graham cracker crust using your recipe. It’s a no bake lemon cheesecake crust. 🤞First time. Thanks

[@loug.6644]

Oh-My-God! That looks absolutely amazing. I got to try this one. Thank You!

[@lilysgram5886]

Another great recipe. Looks amazing.

[@elsievega6191]

Can't wait to make this

[@kristenexpedition5287]

I made this with vegan butter, vegan cream cheese, and almond milk to make this dairy-free for my family - MAN OH MAN was it perfection. Thank you for this!!!

[@LailaDaniels-yh4]

Hi! Loved this recipe! Could you maybe make a chocolate with vanilla cake? (Chocolate and vanilla cake) ❤

[@jill456]

Looks great! I always appreciate your tips and tricks…..the explanation is always appreciated. Thx!

[@TiredMomma]

Wait a minute, I just realized you were getting ready to bake during a storm?! That's something to do before a storm rolls in. I've had to do that several times. I'd start making dinner while making lunch if we're gonna have late afternoon storms. You can't cook when there's no power. Anyhow, me and my mom used to buy a yummy banana cake from a store called Shop 'N Save. It was actually a yellow cake with chocolate banana flavored icing. They stopped selling it within the year they started them. Since then, no one has ever made them! And this was back in 1998. It's truely a cake I wish could be brought back. It was soooo good!

[@sandyaw3057]

Looks very yummy!

[@user-nv2yn2yc7g]

Which wonderful a cake, this cream is white and fluffy. It looks like first snow.

[@peppermintpeggy658]

OMG I am in love!!! You are so cute and recipes are so easy & look delish!!!!!!🥰 So glad I found you!

[@heidimeasday5050]

All of your recipes always come out so perfect! I made this banana cake yesterday and it was absolutely delicious!!! Can’t wait to try the next recipe! ☺️

[@user-vb9ve4ti4c]

Can't wait for your new cook book in Aug I pre-order 2 one for a gift one for me !

[@MACMoneU2]

We always got banana muffins with a caramel frosting when the bananas got too brown. Yum!

[@user-wn1gk2kg1w]

Looks so delicious! Perfect on Fourth of July!

[@analystduelist571]

Looks great! Sometimes I have bananas that seem to turn pretty quickly, so this could be a good way to use them up. Got the new book pre-ordered as well. Looking forward to giving some of those recipes a try.

[@darlenemahaven9297]

When my bananas get to dark to eat, I freeze them to use when I bake. I love watching you.😊

[@johannal9075]

Your videos are the best!! Thank you ❤ greetings from AZ

[@christian8657]

Great cake baking tips in this video! Super helpful for making any kind of cake! Waiting for that Salt Video

[@GardeningwithPurpose329]

That looks delish! By the way, I love all your recipes but my fav is the Star Bread. It is my go to if I'm going to a party and everyone loves it. Thank you!

[@deborahpasha9727]

Oh my brother will love this. I just found his birthday cake. And yes please do the salt video please.❤

[@hollysellers1478]

I made this cake gluten free and it is amazing!!!

[@mandolinlad1]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!

[@master11manifestor]

FYI, canned pears work wonderfully in banana bread in a pinch too! I use only Himalayan pink salt.

[@user-td2kk7ri2i]

Me and my wife were just talking about making a banana cake now we will have to try this one.

[@carmenpiccolo5229]

I baked this for my sister & her husband! They loved it! And, I enjoyed, too! Yum! But, I didn't frost it! It was fine without it🥳

[@maryyoung9421]

Salt video please!!! 🥰🥰

[@suebell5870]

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Thank you for the video!

[@pennykeller3048]

This looks so good John! I love banana cake 🎂?

[@gisme4648]

I make the Australian version of this recipe, just throw everything in one bowl and fold for 20 seconds to combine then bake in a loaf tin for 45 minutes at 180°C. Delicious, quick and easy.

[@janettericker4266]

As a self-diagnosed "saltaholic", would love to see a salt video 😊 🧂

[@mmakomanyatja5213]

[@bakebite7374]

❤❤❤❤super recipe dear chef❤❤

[@Craxin01]

I always end up with overripe bananas when I buy a bunch. Nice to see a recipe I can use to keep from throwing them out.

[@ginaadams872]

Where have I been that I’m just discovering this man?! I’ll need to swap out for GF opts but, even if I never actually use the recipe, the amount of super-useful/user-friendly info I have gleaned in this short 11 minutes is amazing! His “unmixed nonsense” had me rolling…!!! 🤣 #newsubscriber 💜

[@cathygarner6867]

Looks yummy 😋

[@SwedishCowgirl7]

My first video watching you. You are amazing! Just subscribed! Thank you!❤

[@lachauntiswashington231]

Looks good 👍 👌 😋

[@lamb83]

It looks yummy! And the hack of using the metal clips to hold the parchment paper is genius! Hope you are having a wonderful holiday weekend, John. :)

[@Cangirl01]

Ooohhhh…yum!

[@maryamzizi2023]

Great video John😊😊

[@phoebechiki5529]

John, can you explain why some recipes use melted butter and some usesoftened butter? Doesn’t all butter melt in the end, anyway?

[@butterbean1965]

I would love the salt video too ❤ Happy 4th of July 🎉🎉

[@user-uk1uz9xx6l]

Yummy.yummy.❤

[@faizalahmad9630]

The explaination & tips shared were very useful. 1st time watching & I enjoyed it till the end. Also, that cake looks scrumptious.

[@kendicoutant2117]

I'd love a salt video, please

[@abyssal_phoenix]

I can absolutely see a little bit of orange zest added into this cake. Just barely enough to taste it in the far background. A little bit of cardemom and a sprinkle of ginger & cloves 😋 And maybe some nutmeg and cinnamon to make it taste like a fall & winter cake 🙃

[@jessicaharris1608]

This sounds very similar to my grandmother's recipe. She was born in 1917 so it makes sense if it originated in the Depression. My grandmother's recipe didn't call for frosting and it was baked in a Bundt pan. My grandmother was frustratingly imprecise in her recipes (pinch of this, handful of that method common in experienced older cooks) so I look forward to having a recipe that is written precisely. This is literally the only way I eat bananas too. Thankfully my husband likes bananas so I don't have to buy them just to wait for them to turn brown to make this cake.

[@user-ib2mq5fm8k]

I would love to see that salt video.

[@papercrane192]

Cake is currently in the oven can’t wait to eat 😊it

[@abstutheit]

Yes! Let’s see a salt video! I never realized until seeing your videos that it actually mattered what kind you use.

[@vinofilms00]

Here after Drew. Thanks for your pacing

[@marshanewman5602]

Yummy!

[@bevwest7428]

Nutmeg +bananas=delicious!

[@karenroddy4780]

Love banana cake wit a cooked brown sugar frosting.

[@carrollandbuddy]

It’s banana season in my part of the world so thank you for the recipes. Any ideas for mangos? The trees are full of them.

[@rosasantander1021]

Se ve super delicioso 😋 por favor puede compartir la receta gracias.

[@ritaschultz6859]

Look at that 🍦

[@deez3913]

Hmmm.... I'm going to make the broccoli cheese soup later this may be desert
