Delicious cupcakes, thanks for sharing the recipe. Any tips on how to get the tops to stay flat?

This recipe sometimes makes a dome but mostly I only get a small dome or nothing at all.

For the cupcakes on the photo I used a recipe for chocolate fudge frosting from the book: 125 Best cupcake recipes by Julie Hasson. I have a very similar recipe here: http://www.cakejournal.com/archives/chocolate-frosting You can make it stronger by using more cocoa powder.

Yes, it’s amazing how differently a cupcake can taste. It’s so more mushy on the second day

Hi cate,
If the recipe calls for baking powder, then plain flour is the way to go.

Louise – I love your site! Can you tell me if you use unsalted or salted butter for these? I’d like to give them a go…

Kelli: Yes I did. I do think though that this was just rolled fondant with tylo.

Louise,
The flowers on your cupcakes are GORGEOUS! Did you use the same petunia cutter and veiner as in your tutorial? Also, did you use the same gum paste recipe?

Is that is to make a cup cakes? Umm…Thank you Louies for your simple tips. My wife likes banana cakes. I try some time this weekend.

hey louise!

awesome recipe! gotta try it this weekend, my boyfriend loves banana, this will be a nice treat for him. Thanks so much!!!

Diana: For this banana recipe I only use salted butter. In fact I always use salted butter whenever baking. But I will then leave out the “extra” salt in the recipes. You can add 3 bananas if that helps. I so love this recipe and they are even better the next day.

Hi Louise,

First and foremost I’d like to let you know that I’ve been following your site for a few months now and I think your tutorials are FAB, not to mention your creations.
I just wanted to know if the banana cake recipe calls for salted or unsalted butter, bc I’ve tried it twice now with unsalted butter and found it tasted a little bland. The first time I thought it was bc i didnt let the bananas ripen enough, so the second time i made sure they were black. I really like that the cake was moist and not too dense.

I’d just like a more intense banana flavor.

THanks
Thanks

xxglamourboixx: I am working on a tutorial for them.

Mari: I used a chocolate fudge frosting with lots of dark cocoa powder. Its from the 125 cupcake book by Julie Hasson.

Mari — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 19:21:50 +0000

Hi Louise,

I have my own favorite banana cupcake recipe, but I’ll take your word and give this recipe a try. What kind of chocolate frosting did you use? I like the fact that it is very dark brown.

Have a blessed afternoon!

Julie: Mine comes out with cracks too but what I do is the moment I take them out, still “soft” I smoothe them with the back of a spoon this helps if they are slightly “vulcano” like. But there still may be cracks.

Julie — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 17:58:01 +0000

Thank you so much for this recipe, cupcakes were so tasty and delicios!!!My family liked it for sure. But I had little problem during cooking – there were cracks on the top of each cupcake. Although your are so smooth!! what’s the secret? I want them to be perfect))

sweatcorn: Hmm strange, mine never turns out oil. My only idea is the amount of butter? but not sure.

Sandra: well this recipe is for an 8″ round pan. So you would need to double or triple it?

By: Sandra

Sandra — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 12:16:48 +0000

Hi,

I tried this banana cupcake recipe with the chocolate frosting….definitely a keeper. They were the BEST!!! Can I make a cake from this recipe? I need to make a 12″ square banana cake for next Saturday. Would this work?

Thanks

Hi Louise,

I tried your recipe over the weekend, it delicious!!! But mine seems kinda oily as the base of the cuppies are soaked wif oil. Any suggestion to overcome this??

By: Louise

Anna: I used a large star tip that you use for piping with whipped cream. The 1M from Wilton could also be used I think.

Anna — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 02:55:25 +0000

Hello! I love those cupcakes. What tip did you use for the frosting? Thanks!

About how much mashed banana does 2 large bananas make? A cup or two? I usually freeze my old bananas and just make a puree.
