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!

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?

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.
