Monkey Banana Cake Recipe | Sorted Food

This one even surprised us! But a generous dollop of a secret ingredient (mayonnaise) in the cake mix makes the lightest and fluffiest sponge ever! Combined with the flavours of banana and cardamom it's a definite winner. To make it FridgeCam material we bung it in a monkey cake tin and dress barry up in a very special outfit!

Barry's the most pissed off looking banana ever. Love it.

"Yeah what the hell" - A moment where Ben just gives up.

[@lemonfruiit]

Literally first time I've heard him swear out of every video I've watched 😂

[@doug]

sprig of mint!

[@emmettdel]

"Are you gonna add the whole thing in?" "Yeah why not." I died 😂

[@Konnichiwa-gwan]

I'd like to see Ben try and bake fear into a cake

[@souricecream4399]

Wot now?! Wot now!? Wot!?, Wot now!?

[@blacksilverdoll959]

ben:*puts in a teaspoon of mayonnaise* ben:followed by a table spoon of mayonnaise *ben:puts in tablespoon of mayonnaise* me:followed by THE ENTIRE DAMNED THING OF MAYONNAISE!

[@JamilaColeman]

I cants believe Barry passed up the opportunity to tell Ben "this sssh, is bananas B A N A N A S" while Ben is adding weird ingredients 🐒🍌

Okay, so here's the story on how I made the fluffiest pancake I ever made. So I woke up this morning craving for pancakes. Who doesn't? Anyways, so I went to the kitchen prepped all the things I need and whoop de doo, there's no eggs. Ouch. So I gave up. I started watching youtube and I saw this vid on my recommended list. I watched it and saw them using mayonnaise as a substitute for eggs. Well, hell yeah it made sense coz mayonnaise is just eggs and oil mixed together, so I decided to go for it. Ive got nothing to lose anyways and Im hungry af. So I went with the usual pancake recipe, without the oil and egg ofcourse. Everything was going well and then the thing happened. I was about to put baking powder in the batter when the canister slipped my hands and fell in the bowl. Baking powder everywhere! I thought that my pancake was ruined coz there's like 3 or 4 times more baking powder in it than what is supposed to be. But I still pushed on, because Im really, really hungry already. I put it in the pan and cooked it as usual. And when I say these things lift, they really friggin lift bruh! They literally doubled in size! So after cooking everything, I tried it and it really melts in your mouth! I dont even know how it happened! is it because of the mayo or the baking powder? i dont know! Its like sponge cake! The good thing is that you can barely taste the baking powder. That, and I am hungry no more. So, yeah. That's it. Thank you sorted for this video! :D

[@HannahMorgan-Johnson]

This cake would be great for kids, maybe Ben should make it again for Tyrone on his birthday!

[@daniellestickley1713]

LOL. I almost snorted coffee out my nose to the costume and Barry's face in the banana.

[@chefkendranguyen]

Dude taking a bite on the banana cake..priceless, I'm glad he liked it in the end. :)

[@LocalAdventurerTravel]

hoping to see you guys more in the US! :)

[@helloaloee]

I keep replaying the part where Barry says "Thanks Miiiiikkkkeeee." It's just his face and the way he said, i find it so entertaining.

[@abbiee5500]

And me!! And I don't know why😂😂😂

[@xBabymeat]

The "This is completely inappropriate." bit at the end made my day.

[@Rstherlukluk]

that is the most humorous cooking show in you tube. the banana suit and the expression of Barry is to die for. it is priceless!!!!omg that is super funny i cant evennnnn

[@DavidDeschamps]

the perfect cooking channel :) you guys are really great and inventive ! "Bonjour" from France :)

[@IamZorno]

Pinto Bean cake!!! My grandmother use to make the chocolate cake made out of pinto beans!!! Can you do it?? You know you wanna do it!

[@kaygee301]

The best banana cake I've ever made/tasted! I doubled the recipe, added an extra banana, halved the mayo, 100grams less of sugar, dark chocolate on the top and it was perfect! Amazing!

[@skippymagrue]

This recipe saved me the other day. We had a potluck and I didn't have any eggs (or very much other stuff for that matter) but I had everything for this. Everyone loved it! I added dark chocolate chips to the batter and made cream cheese frosting.

[@nvrsaynvr3497]

the bit in the beginning made me laugh my head off

[@hsmoscout]

"Are you havin' a giraffe?" Is this some sort of weird British saying???

[@thisishinna]

It's rhyming cockney slang, it means are you having a laugh! :)

[@hsmoscout]

Thank you!! :)

[@Alan2Bordeaux]

Here in Bordeaux we make savory cakes with olives, lardons, duck gizzards, diced ham... Delicious for apéritif or for a picnic lunch.

[@RichardDuncan]

I wish I could become a member of the Sorted Food team; trying lots of recipes, bullying everyone, talking into fridges, getting bullied and meeting awesome people. Sounds like a dream. You guys are amazing!

[@WaffleTheMonster]

Chocolate courgette muffins! I've had them before, you can barely taste the courgette and they have a lovely fudge-y texture :D

[@Helen-op5vr]

Chilli and chocolate cake would be great!

[@ramychemhimdaykt]

I was having a bad day until I got home from work, went on my usual rampade of youtube anf saw a video by my favourite food channel, involving my favourite fruit and my favourite animal that is hilarious and interesting. Thank you for making my day better like you always do. I love you guys.

[@SallysWelt]

this is sooooo good ❤

[@xmeygan]

A tofu or wasabi cake! Maybe both?

[@shindiekawaty]

the bit where ben added the mayonnaise was HILARIOUS! i'm laughing my ass off, tbh. HAHAHAHA

[@kaysong3387]

I LOVE SORTED FOOD! You guys are so addictive!

[@kawaiikaikee]

Try a Russian cake called "smetanik". It's has a sour cream filling I love it.

[@kawaiikaikee]

Also use dried prunes and some shredded peanuts in the filling. With every layer of filling do a chocolate coating. Make a few layers. Cake should be about 3 inches tall. Top it off with a chocolate layer and sprinkle some peanuts. Yummm

[@angelinthedark5]

Chocolate cake made with red beets, very good

[@YAY379]

Avocado can pretty much go in anything. I love it. I made a vegan chocolate mousse and it was AMAZING!

[@H0TandL0W]

It looks so warm I'm so jelly!

[@zoecollins5002]

My son would like you to try a lasagne cake please.

[@Wakeywakeycornflakey]

You should put pepper, or spinach. It actually got that from a japanese anime about patisseries, and well someone made a spinach cake to fool kids. Or maybe asparagus or some veggies that aren't liked

[@Elinious]

I hear you Barry, with the banana thing! I used to really hate them, but I did get used to them. I will always choose another fruit over banana though, still not my favourite. I have had it in cake and then it's not too bad but I don't want more than one slice generally.

[@TheWitchBabyStar]

Even before this video I've been putting mayo in my cakes and cupcakes! It really does make it super moist and yummy!

[@OhKillSwitch]

Barry looks so cute. :((

[@bassetts1899]

i've got a friend who accidentally put "mixed herbs" in a cake... so like, basil, oregano, the lot. try and make something with those kinds of herbs lol.

[@tomekkk93]

I'm just about to watch this video, but already dead by the cuteness !

[@marissaokamoto1743]

ketchup cake is really good! it is super moist and fluffy

[@Jessica24320]

Awwwww the cake is cute

[@Suertsje]

3:36 Barry, you look A-DO-RA-BLE

[@jatvirginmega]

[@yknowthatgirl]

The little cameo in Grace's Fri-diary was the best ever.

[@suhafahad1022]

red chilli choco cake!

[@buttonsforbooks]

You guys should make a Marmite cake!!!!!!! That would be sooooo good!!!!!

[@theapplemartinian]

This is by far the most adorable cake I've ever seen! hahhaa!

[@sarahdelany2970]

I love my mom's rose geranium cake. Uses powdered sugar infused with leaves from the plant in the frosting, and the cake.

[@Sunny_Ota]

Barry, where did the hatred for bananas come from? :O

[@hooligans238068]

I feel you Barry, I absolutely hate bananas. The consistency, the taste, everything. So gross

[@launched003]

Worked perfectly and even tastes good :)

[@SarcasmIsMySecondName]

Hahahaha you rock guys, you really rock lol The best cooking and entertainment channel EVER lol

[@CapTrainT]

I had a very similar dream about Barry....except it wasn't bananas.

[@kitkat4645]

Umm, I don't really know what to say😐 you guys make a great team: funny, funny, funny and more funny😁

[@jaimiechan2251]

Barry in a banana suit. All I could think of was "Peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly Time!"

[@burgerpattie]

Ben gradually adding the mayo but ended up dumping it all in the batter is too funny! Woot for finally being the bully instead of the bullied! Good to know that Tyrone's dad sticks up for himself once in a while :)

[@Idiotbreadloaf]

Watermelon cake.

[@itsnotkira]

i wanna see a mustard cake..

[@hrtz4min]

Aww that cake is adorable.

[@charlottereuben4069]

Haha adorable. His reaction to everything!

[@AllCatsAreAwesome]

Put Barry into a cake... he's unusual...

[@kimmmm01]

Props to you Barry, if my friends tried to get me to eat AND wear the food item I loathe the most in the world, I wouldn't let them…I'd probably kill them first to be honest.

[@HiPlayerProdigy]

+kimmmm01 He's a good sport.

[@xinlesmiles]

"You should see him in the weekend he's proper colourful." Hahahahhaa

[@SierraDeeDidIt]

This has to be my favourite episode ever.

[@sheenabrady14]

I'm with Baz, I don't like bananas

[@brandonayres61ba]

Put bens red shorts in a cake lol

[@acidicfairy]

Whole clementines. Skin and all. Ground almonds as well. It's amazing.

[@ShawnaHambly]

Sour Cream doughnuts are amazing. I avoided them for years and accidentally ate one to find out it was so delicious... kind of like a rich and super soft texture (french vanilla flavour)

[@SnowyOwl0731]

I came just to hear Ben say, "Bananas." Don't know why...

[@junepereira97]

CatherineAnn923 😏😏😏😏

[@SnowyOwl0731]

What?! He's cute! LOL

[@sadiesanerd]

The banana in the tea is so incredibly pornographic...I don't know if I'm grossed out or a little turned on...WHY MUST YOU BOYS CONFUSE ME SO?! ;P

[@PunofHarts]

Comment of the week! Well you get my vote

[@sadiesanerd]

Aww thank you, sugar!! You're a peach!

[@lenerdhuhn]

The best thing is Ben´s "what the hell ...?" face when they move the fridge/freezer accross him :D

[@hetisingmar]

thyroon would love this!

[@KustomFu]

I only have a Ninja Turtle pan and a Mario pan :/

[@hobonicole64]

[@jaimejacob7602]

[@hobonicole64]

Jaime Jacob all the banana jokes???

[@jaimejacob7602]

yeah but what with the cake thingy

[@hobonicole64]

Jaime Jacob never miiindd. If u dont get it u dont get it. Explaining it will only takr away the humor :)

[@jaimejacob7602]

alright be that way ..... sommmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeee woke up on the wrong side of the bed

[@marauderpig]

I love how, at 4:02, Barry tries to push out his biceps to make them look bigger while crossing his arms. Everyone knows that trick, my friend. You're not fooling anyone. Love and accept your twiggy arms for what they are!

[@Izlucey]

That cake was so cute!

[@x3grande]

Awesome!!!

[@jenwhalen6662]

Pork and bean loaf. So good!!

[@happyjellyfish]

LOL @ 1:09 - it's nice seeing Ben doing the bullying for a change. Also, Barry must have a real aversion to bananas to be able to smell it on a cup of tea. Hilarious :D

[@hannahplas2495]

I'm exactly like Barry throughout the video when it comes to bananas. Only without the positive end 😂

[@liszewskik2]

Chocolate zucchini bread isso yummy my mom use to make it a lot when I was little! It would be amazing to see it made on here!

[@calliejohnston9489]

My mum used to make chocolate mayo cake, and it was delicious!

[@TheBakerteers]

We did the cupcake challenge on our channel, (like the smoothie challenge) and one us got mayonnaise in our cupcakes and they were the lightest and fluffiest cupcakes ever!! Can't wait to try this recipe out :)

[@femkevanseijen]

My goodness, I'd give anything to work with you guys in the future. I love (making) food, and this just seems so much fun!! :D

[@Cowonahill_]

Oh my goodness, everything about this episode was hilarious! XD

[@movieish9]

This was the funniest fridge cam by far ahahaha

[@28mojojojo]

Yay for mike who finally made it out of England!!! Now you better still be on LA so we can hang out.... I love you mike

[@AmourMode]

Tres leches cake!!! grrrrr been requesting this for years

[@meganmcnulty2406]

Same Barry love you xxx

[@OracleAnne]

My favorite cake as a kid was chocolate mayonnaise cake. It makes the cake super moist and delicious.

[@purplepixy5000]

potato chip cookies!!! sooo good!

[@gsooo1]

This was really nice.Banana cake's one of my fav. .., even banana bread for that matter..its more or less the same.The mayonnaise do definitely add the required moistness to it. Also the cardamon powder needs to be only using seeds for grt flavour.... i would definitely add some nuts to it.I love nuts...A variation to this could be adding zucchini or even few chunks of ur fav. choc.

[@sullen-girl]

My family puts mayonnaise in our cakes, it makes it really moist. We first heard about doing it cause of the chocolate cake at Portillo's in Illinois. (they put mayo in their cake there)

[@hsmoscout]

I'm glad the guys at Sorted realized how entertaining torturing another human can be :P

[@adamsandqvist6513]

We added soft drink as kids when baking bread. It turned out super tasty!

[@safire309]

My aunt puts prunes into chocolate cake! (and also coffee powder, but that's not that unusual) It keeps the cake really really moist and also brings out the chocolate flavour! :D

[@maraakin3258]

lovin' it!
