    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!

    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
    UK Measurements - US Measurements

    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.

      180 degrees to bake? It seems very low in an oven. Please advise to the correct degrees to bake this cake! Thank you!

      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.

        Great! Yes it freezes well, wrap it tightly in foil or clingfilm and freeze for up to 3 months.

      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.

      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.
