Easy Banana Cake Recipe

[@imonearthnow1903]

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!!

[@Kristenoyinbo]

John I made your banana bread yesterday for a client and let me tell you how INCREDIBLE it tasted! Every single recipe is a total success and so tasty! I'll be buying every cook book u release as its gold! Thankyou for being you ❤❤

[@craftynangran13]

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

[@jazz6711]

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

[@cynthiag3065]

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

[@akontilis1792]

100% agree!! 😊

[@2901nc]

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

[@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.....😂

​@@artboxfashion4042and banana cake turns into a drunken cake😂😂

[@tammybozza4703]

I’d love to see a salt video, John!

[@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! ❤😊

[@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.

[@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! ❤❤❤

[@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!

[@Lovechild2423]

Baking this now Added walnuts and chocolate chips Can’t wait to eat The whole home smells Devine

[@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

[@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!!!

[@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?

[@rafigahamzayeva9000]

I made this cake by using stevia instead of sugar and also for cream I used 60% less sugar than in the recipe and the cake turned out great! Thanks again for the recipe 😊

[@michelleboldan5]

Making this today ❤️ I have used several of your recipes and they are fantastic.

[@Unlaei]

The absolute most delicious and soft recipe ever, second time making it !

[@tasnimanonna5974]

Great video! A suggestion: it would be much helpful if the ingredients for the recipes were added in the description.

[@JamesTony1]

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

[@annillig3648]

Wow! You are so close to having 5 million followers❣️ I’m so glad you decided to leave teaching school and share your love of cooking with us.

[@2Consumed]

'Yes' to the salt vid

[@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.

[@fulgencekouadio8457]

So good❤❤❤

[@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! ☺️

[@nine_yaki]

a salt video would actually be really helpful! :D

[@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!❤

[@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!!!

[@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❤❤❤

[@akontilis1792]

I agree! He sneaks in such good tips, you have to watch the whole video so you don't miss anything!!

[@samanthahoos9827]

❤Made with chocolate chips for my family, but no icing. They love it for breakfast on the go or for a side in their work lunch. 😊

[@rickm5271]

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

[@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.

[@cavernedescryptos6435]

La banane pour faire du gâteau c'est intéressant. Et j'aime votre vidéo

[@deborahpasha9727]

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

[@OreosSweet]

Mini cakes look so adorable! 🎀🍰

[@peppermintpeggy658]

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

[@susanpacheco8582]

This looks spectacular!

[@lilysgram5886]

Another great recipe. Looks amazing.

[@christian8657]

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

[@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

[@hollysellers1478]

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

[@brazoolfrasthorst7696]

Thanks again John

[@renanschimuneck9369]

Please make the video explaining the salt differences!

[@neha-lm3qy]

Thank you so much for your delicious simple banana cake recipe John Kanell. I tried your recipe and it was supper delicious everyone home loved this cake. God bless you dear😍

[@ritaschultz6859]

That is a great idea with the pins

[@ladybird3518]

I would love a salt video🤟🏻💖

[@Katarina-z5g]

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

[@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 💜

[@cookiejones]

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

[@Crystal-qr1yy]

Mmm...looks so good have to try it

[@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.

[@darlenemahaven9297]

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

[@MariaFeliz-n9m]

I like it and all Videos That You been Making very much recipes. It's looks like Delicious dessert and food. 🎉 Very Tasty With Sugar and Flavor of dessert icing

[@HazelSmith-y4l]

I would love to see a salt video. I'm not a huge fan of cream cheese....can I just substitute butter? And hey, don't throw away those banana skins. Chop them up, add to a large jar and fill with water. Steep for 3 to 4 days. Then strain and use the water for your plants. Adds magnesium and calcium for healthy plant growth. Love your videos John ❤

[@elsievega6191]

Can't wait to make this

[@regisdupont-px3xi]

J'adore beaucoup ❤

[@faizalahmad9630]

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

[@VideoSlave01]

Awsme. I just used this video to make 3 cakes for a function. Thanks

[@lougoncalvesmedia]

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

[@johannal9075]

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

[@jill456]

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

[@MACMoneU2]

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

[@aishunate4892]

OMG..I tried n it tastes soo good..tqqq soo much

[@JessougnonEdmondHOUNKANR-de2nu]

Très intéressant et ça a l'air délicieux 🎉

[@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!

[@LailaDaniels-yh4]

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

[@rosasantander1021]

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

[@NonoziMaseko-Chiliza]

Beautiful cake thank u ❤

[@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.

[@sandyaw3057]

Looks very yummy!

[@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🥳

[@karenroddy4780]

Love banana cake wit a cooked brown sugar frosting.

[@mmakomanyatja5213]

Absolutely Perfect friend everything you make is Magic you always demostrate nd you make it easy to follow many thanks God bless your family I hope everything went well friend today I was praying for you keep up the goodwirk nd very thankfully for everything nd much appreciated 👏

[@SavoryExperimentsCooking]

This looks so moist and amazing!

[@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!

[@almaarrazola6876]

Thanks!

[@abstutheit]

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

[@TaddClouse]

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

[@ritaschultz6859]

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

[@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.

[@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. :)

[@HarsuchetunKaur]

Hi, Firstly I am so glad my husband found your video online while I was panicking as a baby baker in the kitchen. My cousin who gave me the basic recipe before I found your video, god bless her for giving me the confidence and hand holding me through text. Now I always play your video each time I bake because I bake alone. if there is anyone else in the kitchen my anxiety levels peak with fear of making an error ! hopefully soon I will become confident enough in my baking as I am in my cooking. I cannot find an eggless cake option in your videos. Can you share one eggless chocolate cake recipe video?

[@master11manifestor]

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

[@AngelaM-y4e]

Looks so delicious! Perfect on Fourth of July!

[@suebell5870]

Great looking recipe. Would love a salt video!

[@GhislaineTossou]

Le goût de ça !, j'ai la salive au. Lève

[@pritiskitchen0657]

Looking delicious

[@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 🙃

[@maryyoung9421]

Salt video please!!! 🥰🥰

[@janettericker4266]

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

[@bevwest7428]

Nutmeg +bananas=delicious!

[@VictorinGandonou-y3f]

very good i love banana i d'ont know doing this with sweety❤

[@methosmomomax7470]

I peel and freeze 3-6 bananas for baking muffins or breads. I suppose cakes could be good also. The water crystals will break the banana cell walls whenever they thaw out.

[@lachauntiswashington231]

Looks good 👍 👌 😋

[@MiasMenu]

Great video as always, Preppy Kitchen!

[@kristenexpedition5287]

Yes, please do a salt video!! That would be incredibly helpful.
