Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 2 medium Bananas very ripe
- 5 large Eggs separated into yolks and whites
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 cup Sugar powdered
- 1/4 cup Refined Oil or butter, or cake butter for a richer cake
- 1/2 cup Self-Rising Flour or all-purpose flour mixed with baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Cream Of Tartar optional
Icing (Optional)
- 1/2 cup Icing Sugar
- 2 tbsp Milk
Garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 320°F (160°C). Grease and flour a ring cake pan or pan of your choice.
- In a large bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until foamy. Add cream of tartar (if using) and beat until stiff peaks form. Stiff peaks are essential for a light and airy cake.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar to the egg whites, beating constantly until glossy and firm peaks hold. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, combine mashed bananas, oil, egg yolks, remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Sift the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda) over the wet ingredients. Gently fold them together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can lead to a tough cake.
- Gently fold in the egg white mixture, a few tablespoons at a time, until evenly incorporated. This creates a light and airy batter.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the optional icing, whisk together icing sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake and decorate with sugar flowers and stars.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know

Expert Tips
- For a richer banana flavor, use overripe bananas with brown spots.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to a tough cake. Mix until just combined.
- A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg enhances the warm flavors of this cake.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover slices can be wrapped tightly and stored in the freezer for up to two months.
