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.

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…

By: cate

cate — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 11:33:28 +0000

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!
Mari
