Banana and Nutella cake – a delicious bake swirled with Nutella! Use your store-cupboard ingredients and bananas from your fruit bowl and make this simple yet delicious cake.
My latest bake is a delicious marbled-effect Banana and Nutella cake. It is very easy to make and it smells delicious while baking.
The marbled Nutella swirls on top are one of my favourite things about this cake. It looks great even served naked!!
Are you addicted to Nutella too?! Banana cake is always a great way to use up bananas that are past their best, and adding Nutella can only make it better, right?I know Nutella doesn’t ever last long in my house, it is a real favourite here. This is an easy banana cake recipe with great results!
Can You Make this Banana Cake in a Slow Cooker?
Yes you can. If you are making in this slow cooker it will take around 1.5 hrs on high.

How to Serve This Banana and Nutella Cake
I serve this as a deep cake with no filling or icing, it is delicious that way.
You could also cut it in half and fill with whipped cream and chocolate ganache or cover it in Nutella buttercream for an incredibly indulgent treat.
I love to see the marbled top so serve mine just as it is!

Banana and Nutella Cake
Ingredients
- 115 g unsalted butter
- 170 g caster sugar
- 2 medium eggs
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 300 g plain flour or use self-raising flour plus 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 5-6 teaspoons Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C (fan).
- Cream the butter together with the sugar, and then break in the eggs and mix well.
- Stir in the bananas.
- Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir till well combined but don't over mix.
- Put the mixture in a greased cake tin. I used a deep 8 inch tin.
- Drop in the spoons of Nutella and use a knife to marble it in the cake batter.
- Bake for around 45-50 mins or until a skewer comes away clean. If it browns too much on top, cover the cake with foil for the last ten minutes.
Fab cake, easy to make and everyone loves it
180 degrees to bake? It seems very low in an oven. Please advise to the correct degrees to bake this cake! Thank you!
That’s right, the temperature is given in Celsius as I am in the UK.
Approx how many grams of bananas will this mix need? I’m going to use chopped bananas that I have in the freezer. De-frost then mashed but dont know how much to use. Thanks
You need 3 bananas worth. Difficult to say with frozen banana as I think the weight and texture would be different. I’d work out by eye how much looks like the equivalent to three bananas from what you have.
I’ve made this 3 times during quarantine and absolutely love it!!! Thank you!
Marvellous Emily!
I made it once and was so tasty but didnt look great because I swapped tins after marbling the nutella to a loaf tin haha.
I’ve just had my second attempt with a top witb nutella and bottom half without nutella so i can spread nutella through the middle like a sandwich!! Thankyou for this lovely recipe x
Sounds delicious!!
I made it! It was perfect!!!!!!!!
Excellent, thanks for stopping by to let me know!
Hi , if using plain flour r we suppose to increase the baking powder to 3 tsp
Hi. If using plain use the 2 spoons stated. The one tsp is for if you are using self-raising.
I will be baking it in an OTG. What temperature and for how long should I bake it for?
Sorry no idea what that is. I would check a converter for that type of appliance.
I made this recipe to spend time during quarantine and it was the best time ever!
I made 2 recipes to share with neighbors .
My family loved, thanks for sharing!
Brilliant, so glad to hear this!
I love this recipe, I’ve used it loads for adults and kids, was just wondering, Do you think it could be frozen?
Great! Yes it freezes well, wrap it tightly in foil or clingfilm and freeze for up to 3 months.
Actualy i Use this recipe for 3or4time already, ist simple, fast and delicius, thank you for sharing..
Delicious but not sure if i’ve baked it long enough it was slightly under done but still tasty and yum my five years old was over the moon.
Ps: baked in a square Pyrex dish and used self raising flour.

Love this recipie as its simple, fast and delicious. I also put blobs of chocolate into the tin before the mixture
Glad to hear it Leanne! That sounds like a great way to make it even more chocolatey too.

I just made this cake (translating grams to oz.) and this turned out perfect. Beautiful in two small bundt cakes. Delicious. Easy to make, what more can you ask for in a recipe? This will be a favorite, and I will toss my head and say, when complimented, “oh, it’s a recipe from an English friend”. Thank you.
Please give the conversion from metric to U.S. measurements. I’d love to make this!
AWESOME! Two of my favorite ingredients all in one. So happy to have found your blog Lucy, I was really looking for a recipe that would help me get more from my Nutella because every time I buy one the next thing I know all my family members have already devoured it leaving me only the bottle. Can’t wait to see your other recipes. More power and God Bless.
