Try making this keto banana cake with cream cheese frosting today and I hope this makes your day better. Also, let me know if you like it.
Well.... the only reason I ate a piece of this cake was because of the frosting. It was dense and heavy and nothing like the picture. I'm sorry is used all my expensive ingredients to make such a bomb! There is no reason to add the baking powder! I'm afraid even my chickens won't eat the rest of it! Totally disappointed!
I am sorry that you had such a bad experience with this banana cake. I don’t understand the problem you had. Regarding the baking powder it is mandatory, it helps the cake to rise.
Do you know the nutrition if I skip the icing? I can only have 15 carbs a day I don’t want to throw 2/3 of them into a slice of cake but I looove banana
If you skip the icing carbs will be 8 per slice based on my calculation tool.
I have a regular banana bread recipe that I always use so I wanted to try something different so here I am! At first when I made the batter it came out really really thick and I wasn't sure if it would turn out l. I made this into a bundt cake and it taste great! It all worked out fine in the end! Great recipe
I am so happy that you liked it!
Hey I'm just wondering if u can make this in a regular cake pan. Not using the spring form.
I'm in a rv and don't have much kitchenware to choose from lol tia
Yes, of course, you can. Just make sure to line the pan with parchment paper or grease it well with butter or oil.
I'm rather new at baking keto. Could you double this recipe to make a higher cake or will it not bake properly with that depth of batter. Thanks for your response
I am new to keto baking. I was wondering if I could double this recipe to heighten the cake or would this hamper the baking.
I don't think doubling the ingredients is a good idea. It will badly affect the baking. However, if you like to make a higher cake, you can use a small baking pan. I am using in this recipe 23CM springform; you can use 20CM springform or cake tin.
I made the cake—but added three (rather small) bananas instead of two AND used stevia instead of erythritol. Turned out moist and somewhat dense but delicious. Reminded me actually of a cross between carrot cake and pumpkin pie. Made my own random hwc & cream cheese frosting. Will make again— everyone who tried it liked it.
