We love a delicious tradition style cake and they don’t come much better than this butterscotch banana cake. The cake is gorgeous on its own or you can add the delicious and decadent cheese frosting.

Made this last week. Was very popular with friends and family!! :D Super easy to follow recipe and absolutely delicious cake, can’t wait to try it out on my workmates.
That’s great Dawn, one of our favourites and we too find it very popular with family and friends!
Cant wait try this one it looks ace!
BTW Thanks so much for putting the weights in grams! Really helps!
Can it be frozen in slices for another time?
Hi Sonya,
Great question, sorry to say we haven’t tried freezing. The cake would freeze fine and I’ve done a bit of searching on the cream cheese frosting. By all accounts that freezes well too. Best to thaw in the fridge or at room temp and the frosting my sweat slightly but due to the high fat content it is perfect for freezing. Happy baking! Julia
Best recipe EVER!!! This has very quickly become a family fave, thanks :)
the cake looks moist and delish :)
