Frequently Asked Questions
To bring some extra chocolatey deliciousness into the cake, you can add some cocoa powder or unsweetened dark chocolate chips into the mix.
Another great idea is to replace the milk in the recipe with some heavy cream. This will make the cake more rich and indulgent. 
Your leftover banana cake can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. I would recommend storing it in an airtight container and then serving it cold or warming it up a bit in the microwave. 
Tips & Tricks to Make the Banana Cake on a Pan
Ready to try this recipe? Here are a few tips and tricks you might want to keep in mind.
- Remember to use ripe bananas for this recipe. You could also use the overripe, slightly brown bananas- they tend to be extra sweet.
- Make sure the egg is at room temperature before you use it for the recipe.
- I used all purpose flour for this recipe, but if you want the cake to be extra spongy and fluffy, you could use self raising flour instead, or just add half a teaspoon of baking soda into the batter.
- I would recommend using a good quality non-stick pan to make the banana cake. This will ensure that the cake doesn’t end up sticking and glides off the surface of the pan easily.
- I used powdered sugar to lend some sweetness to the cake, but you could also consider adding some brown sugar instead, if you want it to have a deeper, rich flavor.
- Remember to cook the cake at low heat. High heat can end up overcooking the bananas and can leave the cake undercooked.
Serving Ideas & Suggestions
This rich and sweet banana cake on a pan can be served and enjoyed on its own, at any time of the day.
If you want to go the extra mile, you can top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream while it is still warm.
