Delicious! Certainly satisfies any sweet craving. It was the first cake I have made from scratch in many many years.

Made this as cupcakes and didn't have cream cheese so used creme fraiche. I put the icing in a piping bag in the fridge overnight as cakes were still warm at bed time. Super easy to ice before work and my team made short work of them. A great recipe.

Hi all.  I need to make cakes for 50 people for afternoon tea next weekend. I will make some bimby chocolate cake, but this is my son's all time favourite so I just wondered if anyone had tried doubling it.  I'd like to make enough for a slab type tin.  Has anyone doubled it?  Does it fit in the tmx? and still taste as gorgeous?  Would appreciate feedback!

Can you compare the quantities of the Bimby Chocolate cake and this one Lellyj - I had a quick look and I'm pretty sure this one could be doubled but don't take my word for it as I don't make that many cakes 

[Lellyj]

Good idea, Judy!

[Lellyj]

Well I can confirm that you can double this recipe succesfully.  I had a quick squiz at the volumes in this and Bimby chocolate cake as Judydawn suggested, and thought this cake would fit in the tmx bowl. It did, although as it was almost up to capacity, it did take a bit longer to mix the flour in, although I still tried to do it as quickly as possible and not overmix.  My bananas were medium to largish in size, so I used 5, everything else I just doubled.  It made a slab tin size andit  rose up quite a bit out of the tin.  I double lined the tin, incase the edges dried out before the middle cooked, but it still only took about 50 minutes to bake. Unfortunately, I didn't get a pic before it was devoured by hungry hikers and their families.  I thought people might like to know that you can succesfully double this fabulous cake mix, because sometimes doubling doesn't work with cakes, I find.

Thanks for the info Lelly - are you back at school this week as well?

Baked this yesterday, with yoghurt instead of buttermilk and no icing.  Half of the cake is gone in one evening

Per TMX days this was my favorite banana cake recipe. It produces a really moist tasty cake. I loved the ease at making it in the TMX.  It was whipped up in no time at all.  I add cocoa to the frosting which gives it a nice flavour.
