During the transfer to a new web host last year, one post did not make it through. It was the post about the best banana cupcakes. So I thought I would write a new post about them (photo is old) simply because they are so good and because if you love a good banana cupcake or cake? then you should try out this recipe. Be sure to add a nice chocolate frosting or glaze on top.
I got the recipe from one of my flickr friends Kathryn and I am sure that she dont mind me sharing it with you 
Banana cake or cupcakes:
125g (4oz + 1 tbsp) butter
175g (6oz) sugar
2 eggs
2 large mashed ripe bananas
1 tsp Baking soda
2 Tbsp boiling milk
1 tsp baking powder
225g (8oz) flour
Cream butter & sugar till light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time.
Mix in mashed bananas.
Add baking soda that has been dissolved in hot milk.
Lastly mix in sifted flour & baking powder. Dont overbeat the batter.
For a cake bake it in a 20cm round pan on 170 C (325 F) for about 45 mins in a convection oven.
This mixture will produce around 18 standard size cupcakes and they are baked at 170 C (325 F) for approx 18-25 mins. You want them to be light golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Note: They are even better the next day. If you can wait that long 
Please visit my recipe section if you want recipes for other cupcakes.

Happy Caking!

Jasmin, I think I just added a little more milk to the frosting. It’s been a while since I’ve made that frosting.

I made these this morning. I thought I was going to be left with a bowlful of curdled mess after I added everything together, before the flour, but wow, I needn’t have worried. They turned out so light and fluffy and bananary! Delicious. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

Hi there, Louise.
I have a question related to the measurment in this recipe.. by tbsp did you mean regular table spoon?
Thanks, I am a newbie in making cakes and slfound the recipe easy to follow. But usually liquids measured with mililitre so this is a little bit confusing.

Yes, just a regular table spoon
