Banana Cakes

Banana Cakes

Bananas are wonderful in baked goods like breads, muffins, and cakes. They can be mashed to a smooth paste or sliced to allow for more texture. They also pair well with other flavors like peanut butter, chocolate, and strawberry so you have lots of options for cake varieties.

pro tip:

Uncooked banana can turn brown so if you are using sliced bananas as a garnish on a cake make sure to lightly brush them with an acidic mixture like lemon juice. The bananas that get cooked into the cake or mixed in a filling won't turn brown.
