    Frequently Asked Questions

    Where did banana cake come from?

    Banana cake is what banana bread is commonly known as in the Philippines. It was first used while the Philippines was a colony of the United States.

    Why is my banana cake dense?

    The amount of gluten that develops in the banana bread the more you mix it, which is fantastic for a yeast-risen, chewy loaf but not so great if you want a tender, soft fast bread. A dense, rubbery loaf of banana bread will be the result of overmixing the batter.

    Can we freeze banana cake?

    Almost any cake can be frozen once it has completely cooled. When wrapped in a few layers, as described above, super flavoured desserts like banana cake, chocolate cake, carrot cake, and pumpkin cake freeze and thaw nicely. After being frozen and then thawed, I think their flavour is much better!
