    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.

    Banana and Nutella 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.

    Also make sure you check out my recipes for slow cooker pumpkin banana bread and slow cooker blueberry banana bread!

    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!

    Quick Tip for Ripening Bananas 

    If you don’t have any ripe bananas but the craving for banana cake has hit, bake them for 10-15 minutes with the skins on in a ovenproof dish, turning once, and you’ll have soft bananas ready for baking!

    Get the recipe for this delicious cake below. It is very popular indeed on Pinterest right now, so make sure you give it a try!

      I’m very old-fashioned and love my recipe books so I rarely try ideas online. I wanted a banana cake today but also wanted to add Nutella and found this. It was very simple to make and satisfying to bake. Thank you. My (grown up) children tried it and were very impressed. I will make it again soon I’m sure.

      Made this cake for my twin grandchildren and their parents who are poorly. Cooked in Heritage range (bit like an Aga). Took much longer to cook but rose beautifully. Love this recipe.

      My kids make fun of me saying I can burn jelly. I admit this is true. Even a cake baked from a box turns out hard. I thought I would give this a try and its gorgeous. (Even though I say it myself). It’s so soft and flavoursome. Thank you so much for this. I will be definitely making it again

      I love making banana loaf with left over bananas so definately need to make this. Can the recipe be adapted to a tray bake and if so would you double the recipe?

        Hi Andy, it would greatly depend on the size of your tray bake tin, as this recipe makes enough mixture to fill a deep round baking tin. I haven’t tested it in any other tins but you could try it and see.

        Yes the cake could be baked in a bundt pan, you may need to adapt the recipe to the size of the tin. Timings would also depend on the size of the tin and whether you have increased the volumes. I would keep the same temperature.

      I normally bake a banana loaf cake. This banana and nutella cake might now be our family fave. It was delicious. Next time I might put half the batter in tin and half nutella then the rest of batter and nutella on top just so the nutella is spread more through cake.

      Ive made this countless times. It’s a hit with kids and goes lovely with a tea or coffee an a chat! however I do like to add some vanilla essence to mine along with a bit off cinnamon and nutmeg. Tastes fab, it’s my go to cake recipe as we always have ripe bananas in our house.
