Banana Cake topped with yogurt and raisins

Banana cake is one of our favorite fruit cakes. We love bananasΒ  and usually never get left overs in the fruit tray.
Last week, my hubby and our lil’ princess visited the farmer’s market and came home with a huge bundle of ripe bananas.
For 3 days,we snacked on those beauties ; I made Banana pancakes, Energy smoothies and ice cream and was finally left with one lonely over ripe banana.
At that moment I realized that I didn’t make any Banana Cake (I can’t believe I forgot)….Ayyyy! all those bananas… gooooone!Lol☺.
Well, here’s a no fail Banana cake recipe..I made it with one banana, but you can double up the ingredients, if you want a large cake.

    I have just made your banana cake–it looks beautiful, too hot to taste just yet. I don’t understand about the yogurt used when serving–a particular kind? Or ? Thanks.

    • September 7, 2019 / 3:33 pm

      THanks for the feedback Mary
      the yogurt is just a personal preference ?
      Please feel free to make use of your favorite frosting.
      Most people prefer to serve it with cream cheese.

    I don't want it to be too soft because I want to decorate it for birthday..how will I make it a litre bit strong

    • October 22, 2018 / 5:25 pm

      Banana Cake is supposed to be a moist cake.But you can refrigerate it after it has cooled down.

      Then,it should be OK for decorating.

    I just tried this recipe today. I don't know what I did wrong. After melting the butter and sugar, mixed the eggs, when I poured the flour in, it was so stiff. I didn't use the whole of the 150g butter. And I had to add more milk. After 45 mins, the side was still too soft. *sobs* where did I go wrong?

    • Nky Lily Lete
      September 13, 2015 / 10:44 am

      Hi dearie, I feel your pain :)I'm sure that if you go through the recipe again, you'll find out where you went wrong.But if you are sure you followed everything , just the way it is written, then the problem will be with your oven dearie.

    Hey Nky,I'm your newest and biggest fan.I just finished enjoying the lovely sharwama I made using your recipe. I am looking forward to trying the banana cake tomorrow morning. The other thing I would be incredibly grateful to learn would be how to make the cream cheese you Promised to teach. It is literally impossible to get cream cheese in Jos and I need to use it for a lot of recipes. Thanks darling and good night.

    • Nky Lily Lete
      August 1, 2015 / 2:23 pm

      Hi Ij, it depends on what you are baking and also the amount of salt required in the recipe. If its for cake recipes that ask for a little salt, you don't need to add any since the margarine or butter you are using already has some.

      Hi dearie, use the same amount of baking powder because the difference is not much.As for the meat pie, you can add a little sugar(about 10 grams), so that your dad will enjoy it too, don't worry it will come out fine, just a bit sweeterI'll be expecting your feedback and pics too πŸ™‚

    • Nky Lily Lete
      October 23, 2014 / 11:30 am

      Hi hun, good to see you here again.1 tin of peak milk is too much for this recipe,it'll be too sweet, use a quarter if the tin.If the cake batter is too thick, the cake will turn out heavy, while a lighter batter can also make a fluffier cake, but using the exact measurements of ingredients is what really matters.

      Thanks dear. You can add extra 1/2 teaspoon baking powder to help it rise higher

    Should I use orange juice in place of milk? And also add some orange zest?

    Hi dear, thanks for d recipe. I will try it. Can I use vegetable oil to substitute butter? Can I also add milk or is it better not included? If yes, what quantity?

      Hi dear, my recipe has milk in it . And in place of butter you can use vegetable oil, but I'll highly recommend butter in this recipe, it gives the cake a buttery taste. Let me know how it turns out.

    Hi Nky, how do I make a cake without a cake mixer . I'm a campus student, so I don't have an oven,only a cooking stove and a sandwich toaster, can I still make cake or should I just wait until I have a cake mixer and an oven.Thanks so much for all your wonderful recipes.

      So sorry I don't know how long it'll stay in a charcoal oven, but do check on the cake after about 20 minutes and keep watching it from time to time until done.

      It depends on the quantity of cake you are baking and then the size of the oven (hence the intensity of the heat also matter). But like Nky said, check after 20-30 minutes and from time to time
